An underwater view of a patch reef (a type of coral reef) near the San Blas archipelago of Panama. The image features a mix of coral types, including Lettuce Coral (Agaricia spp.), Mustard Hill Coral (Porites astreoides), and Finger Coral (Porites spp.). Additionally, two sea urchins (likely Diadema antillarum) are visible, contributing to algae control on the reef.
