Have a look at the beautiful fluorescing corals of Marsa Nakari under blue light. Most colonies have opened their polyps, ready to catch some plankton at night…

But we also met some other nocturnal predators like the Great Barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) and the Horned Helmet (Cassis cornuta).

Like to learn more about corals? Then don´t miss the chance to take part in our upcoming Reef Check activities at Marsa Shagra this june! Of course we will also have some time for a few nightdives to check again if the corals of Marsa Shagra are glowing similarly as two years ago;-)

Here´s our last album from Marsa Shagra 2014:
