Marine fauna of French Polynesia
French Polynesian waters are famous for their abundant and very diversified fauna. The magic of our turquoise lagoons unveils the wonders of the sea realm, full of small often colourful varieties that are fond of coral gardens. In these shallow waters, the clownfish lives in symbiosis with the anemone, surrounded by angelfishes, blue damselfishes, banner fishes or magnificent long snout butterflyfishes. Most of them seldom venture far from the coral reef which is like a shelter for them. In the same habitat, we can find “Tridacna maxima”, a widespread species of clams which is common in our waters, especially in the Tuamotu archipelago. Their size is usually around twenty centimetres and they can be found in a wide array of shimmering colours. One can also see the starfish, which can be recognised because of its five-pointed star-like shape. It generally feeds on motionless or slow-moving preys. Young turtles then fly across this gorgeous marine setting. In French Polynesia, five turtle species are present and are a matter for special attention.
