00:06:45    No fish on Earth is more venomous.
00:06:49   
00:06:52    It might wait several days
        for a careless fish...
00:06:56   
00:06:56    to swim within range
        of that big ugly mouth.
00:07:01   
00:07:07    After waiting so patiently...
00:07:10   
00:07:11    that must be frustrating.
00:07:14   
00:07:16    But the most venomous creatures here
        are not fish.
00:07:19   
00:07:21    That distinction belongs to sea snakes.
00:07:26   
00:07:31    Their venom is many times more potent
        than a king cobra's.
00:07:37   
00:07:49    Like other snakes, these breathe air...
00:07:51   
00:07:53    but they can dive more than 100 feet,
        and stay down for hours.
00:07:58   
00:08:12    Sea snakes are increasingly rare,
        even here in the Coral Triangle.
00:08:18   
00:08:22    Most have become wallets,
        shoes or handbags.
00:08:26   
00:08:47    In the Coral Triangle,
        mangroves fringe most shorelines.
00:08:53   
00:08:55    These coastal jungles protect islands
        from erosion...
00:08:59   
00:08:59    and provide a buffer against storms
        and even the occasional tsunami.
00:09:05   
00:09:12    The labyrinth of mangrove roots...
00:09:14   
00:09:14    captures sediments
        washed down from the islands...
00:09:16   
00:09:17    keeping the coral reef
        from being smothered in silt.
00:09:20   
00:09:24    The maze of roots is a shadowy habitat
        for many creatures.
00:09:28   
00:09:29    A swarm of Striped Catfish
        feeds on algae growing on the roots...
00:09:34   
00:09:34    and on the silty bottom.
00:09:36   
00:09:46    This silt settles in bays...
00:09:48   
00:09:49    forming vast plains
        of organic debris, sand and muck.
00:09:54   
00:09:57    And if you think nothing could live here,
        you might be surprised.
00:10:02   
00:10:12    The catfish school cascades across
        the mucky bottom like a breaking wave...
00:10:17   
00:10:17    as fish feeding in the front
        are passed over by those in the rear.
00:10:22   
00:11:00    Like most animals living here...
00:11:02   
00:11:02    the stingray conceals itself
        by hiding beneath the muck.
00:11:06   
00:11:10    Dude, I can totally see your tail.
00:11:13   
00:11:15    The goby is an excellent watchman,
        but not so good at cave building.
00:11:21   
00:11:22    He leaves the heavy construction
        to his partner and personal contractor...
00:11:26   
00:11:26    the nearly-blind shrimp.
00:11:29   
00:11:30    The relationship is called symbiosis.
00:11:33   
00:11:34    Both animals think they have
        a pretty good deal.
00:11:38   
00:11:48    A carrier crab is looking
        for his own symbiotic partner.
00:11:52   
00:11:52    He's happy to find a jellyfish...
00:11:54   
00:11:54    which he decides to wear
        as a protective hat.
00:11:58   
00:12:13    This is a love triangle.
00:12:15   
00:12:16    Flamboyant Cuttlefish.
00:12:18   
00:12:18    The 2 small ones
        are the hopelessly devoted males.
00:12:22   
00:12:22    The female is the larger one,
        but they would never tell her that.
00:12:26   
00:12:28    They can swim well enough, but usually
        prefer to gallop across the muck...
00:12:32   
00:12:32    on the tips of their fleshy, little arms.
00:12:36   
00:13:10    Their mating embrace
        is little more than a peck on the cheek.
00:13:14   
00:13:16    The male simply passes the female
        a tiny packet.
00:13:19   
00:13:23    Or, at least he tries to.
00:13:26   
00:13:27    Whether she'll accept is another matter.
