This is a picture showing the reality of the Indonesian underwater world: plastic detritus. It is a real problem in Lembeh. Sea creatures make their house in this plastic residues making it harder to remove them without killing them. Bigger species eat them and die from it. A sad sight. I hope one day disposable plastics will be banned from our planet, before we kill the entire sea with this garbage :-( Neon damselfish,Pomacentrus coelestis
