Sea Life


Chelonia mydas (green sea turtle), one of the most common marine turtle.

Rhizostoma luteum, for very long time there were doubts whether this jellyfish really exists.

Nautilus pompilius, known as ´´living fossil´´.


Echidna nebulosi, a moray eel.


Muraena helena (Mediterranean moray), is another example of a moray eel. 
Some interesting facts about moray eels is that they must open and close their mouth all the time for the breathing, and that they can swim backwards.

Balistes carolinensis (grey triggerfish) might be very aggressive, 
especially when having eggs in the nest.


Amphiprion ocellaris (common clownfish, anemonefish), known also as "Nemo" ;) 
You can meet anemonefish e.g. at the Great Barrier Reef.
Amphiprion ocellaris has a symbiotic relationship with sea anemones: from this interaction the fish 
gets food and protection from predators ;)
