And they look incredible with their shiny colors!"My cousin and I didn't know where to look. Everything was so incredible! "Colorful algae!"I shouted excitedly while I pointed at them. "Yeah, and they move with the water currents. Did you see?" "And what are those little plants, Crab?" "They are not plants, they're animals that look like plants. They're called anemones, and fish hide inside them when they're in danger." Finally,Crab showed us the whole reef. "Look, kids, there are other animals! They are the sponges,the sea urchins, and the starfish!
