This is a full-color introduction to the wonderful world of the coral reef. Home to over 1,000 species of fish and 250 species of coral, the reefs of the Red Sea are among the richest marine environments in the world, and the most easily accessible. This beautifully-illustrated full-color celebration of all that is under the surface of the shallow waters of the Red Sea explains the complex ecology of the coral reef and introduces some of its most interesting and unusual - and often visually stunning - denizens.
