Melithaeidae, also known as Gorgonian sea fans, are a stunning sight on coral reefs around the world. In the Red Sea, a vibrant Melithaea sp. Fan stands tall, surrounded by a mesmerizing school of Glassfish in Indonesia's Daram Islands. The cerulean waters of West Papua provide the perfect backdrop for this tropical wonder. Moving to Papua New Guinea's Eastern Fields, we encounter Carl's Ultimate dive site, where a healthy coral reef landscape unfolds before our eyes. Here, Gorgonian sea fans (Melithaea sp. ) sway gracefully alongside Pygmy sweepers (Parapriacanthus), creating an enchanting underwater spectacle. Venturing further into Thailand's Andaman Sea at Similan Islands reveals a kaleidoscopic image of another Gorgonian sea fan (Melithaea sp. ). Its intricate patterns and vibrant colors captivate divers from all over the world. In Australia's Pacific waters off Queensland, we witness the feeding frenzy of Gorgonian fan (Melithaeidae) polyps opening up to devour their prey. This symbiotic relationship between these fascinating creatures showcases nature's delicate balance. Delving deeper into Indonesian seas in North Sulawesi's Lembeh Strait, we discover tiny wonders hidden within seafans. A 10mm Pygmy seahorse (Hippocampus bargibanti) finds shelter amidst Muricella sp. , showcasing its remarkable camouflage abilities. Traveling across oceans to Fiji's Ra Province brings us an abstract view of Seafan (Melithaea sp. ), standing proud against Viti Levu island’s picturesque Nananu Passage backdrop. Its beauty is simply breathtaking. Back in Fiji but this time beneath Boo Windows' dropoff lies another thriving colony of Seafans (Melithaea sp. ), providing shelter for schooling fish above them. Nature intertwines seamlessly here as life flourishes both above and below the surface.
