A night dive on a coral reef is very exhilarating. In this painting the diver’s lamp picks out a magnificent feather star or crinoid, with its sticky feeding arms spread out to catch plankton particles carried on the current.Two Longjaw squirrelfishes draw back under the reef overhang away from the glare of the divers lamps.
