in the Caribbean Sea.
It's us, the Kratt brothers.
I'm Chris.
And I'm Martin.
Most fish spend the beginning of their lives drifting out there on the open ocean, floating around as tiny, microscopic fish together in a mass called plankton.
They live that way until they're ready to leave the plankton.
That's when they head to one of the most remarkable habitats on Earth-- The coral reef.
MARTIN: And the coral reef has more different kinds of creatures living on it than any other habitat in the ocean.
Let's see how many creatures we can find in one minute down there.
♫ CHRIS: A moray eel!
Our first reef creature.
These guys are ambush predators with a powerful bite.
And look at that cool, twisty swimming style.
MARTIN: Over there.
Boxfish.
These guys are slow, but not many other fish eat them because their skin is poisonous.
Three.
Parrotfish.
CHRIS: Four.
A cowfish.
MARTIN: Five.
Soldier fish.
CHRIS: Six.
Tobacco fish.
MARTIN: Ah!
There are way too many to count.
All different shapes and colors, the reef is alive with life.
Ooh, a blowfish!
CHRIS: I love these little guys.
They're awesome and cute.
And this type of blowfish is known as a porcupine fish.
He's a simple little fish with one of the coolest, most incredible defenses in the entire ocean.
Uh-oh, our minute is up.
MARTIN: What-- But how many reef fish did we find?
CHRIS: A lot!
Imagine if we could go along with the young fish as they journey to their home on the reef.
And experience an incredible creature power that one of these fish uses to survive on the reef.
What if?
