The tropical school of fish glide elegantly through the water like eagles swooping through the air. They are as yellow as a rubber duck floating in a bathtub. The fish swim gently while they scan their surroundings for both food and predators. Their vivid, beady eyes stare through the vast coral reef and their gills are as scaly as a crocodile skin.  The bright and fragile fins push the small fish through the sea.These fish are long,yellow and sleek. They glide majestically through the wide coral reef. The bright blue lines of the blue lined snapper look like the lines of a candy cane. Their vibrant blue stripes stand out on their pineapple coloured body.

The water glistens while Rays of sun beam down on to it.  The water is lukewarm. But as you go further and further deeper and deeper down into the reef it gets much colder. The water is as cold as an iceberg where  blue lined snapper are swimming.

The long witch fingers point up to the blue lined snapper. The staghorn coral is as rough as sandpaper. It is in the shape of a slingshot waiting to fire out.
