Rising from the sandy seabed like ancient towers, these crimson barrel sponges anchor a bustling reef metropolis. Photographed in Anilao, Philippines, the scene teems with life—schools of fish weaving through coral corridors, each movement a thread in the reef’s tapestry. The sponges, bold and architectural, serve as both shelter and sentinel, reminding us that even the most static forms pulse with purpose. This image celebrates the reef as a living city—complex, resilient, and breathtakingly beautiful.
