  • I photographed this Pachyseris speciosa coral formation in Disney Lake, a saltwater enclosure in the Rock Islands of Palau. The lake is only accessible via a submerged tunnel. The lake and surrounding area is sheltered from wind and waves, and almost no one enters the enclosed area, so some species of coral that are normally fragile are able to grow to large sizes. This coral formation was so thin at its edge that light can shine through. Lit from behind, the lines comprising the coral growth reminded me of flowing volcanic lava.

  • The marine lakes of Palau comprise a plethora of hidden environments and fragile ecosystems, often characterized by delicate formations such as this Merulina sp. hard coral, which was thin enough to be translucent. Photographed inside Disney Lake, located in Nikko Bay, Palau.
