20th Century Anthozoa Anthozoan Archive Barrier Cnidaria Cnidarian Coelenterata Coelenterate Coral Natural History Museum Photograph Reef Scenic Invertebrata


EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the vibrant beauty of a coral reef from the Yonge Collection at the Natural History Museum. The image, taken between 1899 and 1986 by Charles Maurice Yonge, showcases a diverse array of anthozoan corals, which are part of the larger phylum Cnidaria, also known as coelenterates. These invertebrates are characterized by their radial symmetry and the presence of stinging cells, called nematocysts, used for defense and capture of prey. The coral reef landscape in the photograph is teeming with life, featuring various shapes and colors of polyps, which are the tiny, tentacle-bearing organisms that make up the coral. The corals are home to a vast array of marine life, including fish, mollusks, and other invertebrates. Coral reefs are some of the most biologically rich and diverse ecosystems on the planet, providing habitat for over a quarter of all marine species. They play a crucial role in maintaining the health of our oceans, protecting coastlines from storms and erosion, and contributing to the livelihoods of millions of people around the world. This photograph is a testament to the natural wonders that can be found in the depths of the sea, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting these fragile ecosystems for future generations to enjoy. The Yonge Collection, which includes this photograph, is an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike, providing a glimpse into the natural history of our world.
