Pink anemonefish (Amphiprion perideraion) with anemone showing the effects of bleaching

Pink anemonefish (Amphiprion perideraion) with anemone showing the effects of bleaching. The bleached anemone is almost white, whereas the unbleached anemone is brown due to the presence of symbiotic photosynthesizing unicellular algae, called zooxanthellae that live within the tissues. In this case they have been expelled because of the high water temperature. Rinca, Komodo National Park, Indonesia, October

EDITORS COMMENTS
Underwater Drama: A Tale of Shyness and Survival in the Coral Kingdom". In this snapshot, we witness a fascinating story unfolding beneath the waves. Meet the Pink anemonefish, a timid yet enchanting creature that calls the vibrant coral reefs of Komodo National Park its home. But what catches our attention is not just its adorable appearance, but also the striking contrast between two neighboring anemones. On one side, we have a brown-hued anemone thriving with life thanks to its symbiotic relationship with photosynthesizing unicellular algae called zooxanthellae. This bustling metropolis of color stands as a testament to nature's harmony and balance. However, on the other side lies a bleached anemone - almost ghostly white due to rising water temperatures caused by climate change. The once-vibrant partnership between these organisms has been shattered as the stressed anemone expels its vital zooxanthellae tenants. Caught in this moment frozen in time, Georgette Douwma's lens captures both beauty and concern. It serves as a powerful reminder of how fragile our marine ecosystems are in the face of global warming. Let us cherish this image for more than just its visual appeal; let it be a call to action. Together, we can protect these delicate underwater worlds from further harm and ensure that future generations will continue to marvel at their awe-inspiring wonders.
