are parrot fish and trigger fish in colorful reef Jemeluk or awake at the Japanese wreck and leave their shelter at night to search for food. What remains of the woven out of slime through "sleeping bag" of the parrot fish, which has protected him overnight from hunters who can tell him otherwise by the smell and the tasty snack then can not escape. At dusk, the parrot fish spits out this transparent mucus layer that protects him at nightfall before his attackers. So that it remains undetected by this. Amed Scuba dive, therefore, before each night our guests as possible not in the eyes of parrot fish light up as they then wake up from sleep, run away from their "sleeping bag" and thereby be found and eaten by hunters may possible. Awakening the parrot fish, they eat away at the coral of the reef. If you dive in Bali as the Coral Gardens Kubu, so you can see this nagging noise significantly. There are about 80 different parrot species, most of them are very colorful and have a bar bill as teeth. This consists of coalesced teeth. With this beak bite the parrot fish, the coral stone and leave the remains as a white sand, for example tropical white beach of Padang Bai in the north-east of Bali building. The Amed in the region, frequently found head parrot fish live together in large groups and is one of the giants of the reef.
Triggerfish are found in different species,


At the base of the food pyramid you will find the reef, the plankton, is this distinction between zooplankton and phytoplankton. The Zooplankton consists of animals, many of which rise at night to feed on during the day there swimming and plant photosynthetic phytoplankton. On the night of Amed Scuba diving in Jemeluk as we encourage our divers for a moment their lamps cover and run fast hand movements under water. Suddenly, small flashes of light appear in the water as of fireflies. This is especially the unicellular alga Noctiluca, which looks like under the microscope like a tiny balloon.

For example, eat eels, which are found in Bunutan and Tulamben, from the plankton in the water floating around. About a Third of their body they put out from a sand cave, into which they retreat when threatened once again.
The coral polyps could without this tiny phytoplankton that serves them as food do not survive. The corals, however, are again ready to chew on parrots and triggerfish, which leaves under water scraping noises.
only 10 percent of the energy is given by a dietary level of the food pyramid to the next. The plankton is therefore only tiny and multiplies very quickly. Under the microscope, one can include in a drop of sea water often 100 000 phytoplankton organisms.
AMED SCUBA appreciates it very much as our guests lead to early to the dive sites in Bali in order - if our guests want to wake up with the fish under the water and enjoy the biodiversity at sunrise to. Particularly beautiful are these morning dives at the wreck of the US.Liberty.
The transport ship in Tulamben is overgrown with coral, home to the tiny algae. These algae are called zooxanthellae also need sunlight in order to conduct photosynthesis. With the help of sunlight, Water and CO2 are the algae during photosynthesis ago sugar and oxygen. In the morning hours the algae in the coral that process, as the rising sun finally delivers the required for this light. Thus, both the living algae in the coral and the phytoplankton floating in the water much of the oxygen since the bind we breathe, while the free carbon dioxide. Since carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that contribute to marine life to reducing the greenhouse effect! At night, the diet of the coral polyps of the tiny plankton that they filter from the water.
There are both hard corals and soft corals. The stony corals build reef, with its limestone skeleton and their polyps mostly take their food at night or in the flow. The tentacles of the polyps, which are equipped with stinging cells filter so that the plankton from the sea. During the day the coral polyps often move back into their limestone skeleton, where they are protected from predators.
soft corals, however usually eat during the day and often also provide sea creatures such as clown fish protection. This clown fish family lives in the protection on the tentacles of a sea anemone, which belongs to the soft corals. The tentacles contain stinging cells with a nettle poison. Followed a careless fish the clown fish in coral its because he wants to eat these, the following fish are killed by the venom of the coral.
moray eels, which we find at many dive sites in Bali,
In the course of the morning diving in the reefs of Amed, Tulamben and Kubu more fish that have found ways to protect themselves from their predators. They are camouflaged or have bright colors that indicate their enemies that they are poisonous or inedible.
Lionfish you can see both night-and day! your spines contain a poison that can be debilitating or deadly to other fish. In humans, produces a contact with the fin rays very severe pain. But an allergic reaction can cause death in humans.
box fish they have surrounding bony plates that protect the animal as a defense against attackers, but also the skin is protected by a poisonous mucus.
also a hedgehog is not a fish meal as attractive as it protects itself by its spines, which he can set up in an emergency.
the sun has risen, so many fish are easy prey in the sunlight. Of this fact in Tulamben as mackerel together circling swarms.
by poison also the wonderfully colored nudibranchs are protected. Most snails are active during the day and eat small animals, sponges and soft corals on which they have usually specialized. They breathe through the visible external gills, sitting like little crowns on their backs. Slugs often live alone, but they come together to mate and bear on the internal fertilization of her eggs. The eggs are held together by a gelatinous mass. This Colorful
Another change in the diurnal variation one finds in the dusk.
night dives show us the reef in Jemeluk and Amed in a different light!
moray eels leave their crevices and swim around in open water. The twilight time is the best hunting season, since distinguish the outlines of the fish now have the sinking sun. Blinded by the low-lying light, some fish that did not withdraw in time, are easy prey.
turtles look around on their beds when they are not scared and therefore wake up, they unmoved, remaining several hours under water.
Many of the nocturnal fish are red, because, at night when no light falls on

with Amed Scuba Diving in Bali, especially in the north-east of the island with the beautiful coral reefs of Amed, Tulamben, Kubu Bunutan and thus offer at any time of day, many interesting and varied diving. As a biologist I would like them in this wonderful world of water get closer!


to life in the coral reef is, as mentioned above, the very important phytoplankton and zooplankton, which is at the top of the food chain and thus provide the basis for all life on coral reefs. The biologist Afam Merkwunye mbH explored this in the BGG Aquadom Berlin society for large aquariums.
