Beneath the shimmering surface of the Caribbean Sea live the strangest creatures,fish with horns, crests, tails like grasping limbs, and faces that look as if they have just swum out of a dream. Some are masters of camouflage; others look as though they accidentally stepped into a costume. Yet every one of these animals plays a role in the reef’s colorful ecosystem. In this guide, you will meet the oddballs: the tiny, the spiny, the lumbering, the crawling, and the seemingly invisible. It is an ode to the strangeness of nature,and to the beauty of being different.
