It's a strange,almost alien world.
这是个奇特的，近乎外星般的世界。
And if the place is strange,many creatures living here are even stranger.
如果说这个地方奇特，那生活在这里的许多生物就更加奇特。
These oasis are created not by plants, but by animals,the corals,but not the normal reef building ones.
这些绿洲是由动物而非植物创造的。它们是珊瑚，但却并非普通种类。
Unlike their hard coral cousins, they don't have chocky skeleton,and they thrive at the depth where light is less intense,capturing food from water current with 8 ferthery tentacles.
与它们的硬珊瑚表亲不同的是，它们没有灰质骨骼，在光线昏暗的深水区艰难生存用8条柔弱的触手从水流中捕捉食物。
These soft coral gardens are important, because baby fish hide amongst them.Nearly half of all adult fish on the reef--Proper,grow up in the nursery of lagoon.
这些软珊瑚花园非常重要，因为小鱼藏身其中，珊瑚礁里几乎半数的成鱼都是在环礁湖托儿所里长大的。
