Underwater school of Yellowtail Barracuda (Sphyraena flavicauda) fish with scuba divers - stock video

Coral reefs are the one of earths most complex ecosystems, containing over 800 species of corals and one million animal and plant species. Here we see a shallow coral reef consisting mainly of hard corals supporting shoals of Yellowtail Barracuda (Sphyraena flavicauda). These young Barracuda remain in a shallow Lagoon schooling together underneath a boat, to hunt fish and avoid predators. This is a typical juvenile behaviour that helps to ensure the survival of the species. Several scuba divers are in the background enjoying the nature around them.
