What's crawling around there?

There aren't only fish swimming underwater. There's so much more crawling around down there. They're the most wonderful creatures! That's why it's worth taking a closer look.

So here's a special video…

Keep your eyes open!

Where and how does it get exciting?

Of course, a camera helps here a lot. Photos turn out very well, but videos also show us the movements. And that's where it gets especially exciting!

With bioluminescent file clams, also known as electric clams or disco clams, their movements and light acrobatics are truly amazing.

Bubble corals are excellent hiding places. Anemones are also extremely popular for "climbing." Sponges often offer ideal holes to hide in and protect oneself from predators.

Slugs are wonderful because of their colors and therefore very popular. Worms are too.

Some excerpts from the video

Identifying the species of the animals isn't easy for me, as I'm not an expert. Dive guides are a great help here. Internet help is also available, but it's often difficult to find the right species.

If you find any discrepancies, please let me know. The best way is via E-Mail.
