[upbeat music]

- Ooh, hey, that coral formationlooks like a--a whale!

Just like our friend Melody.

- Ah.

- Ooh, and right next to that,

that looks like an oyster shell,

like our friend Pearlene.

- I see food.

Ooh, and there's morefood over there.

And next to that, food!

- You see food?

Where you see food?

- Well, my imagination, I guess.

I'm pretty hungry.

See ya!- Hey, wait.

Where you going?

- You guys coming for a snack?[overlapping speech]

- Oh, yeah!- I'll never say no to that.

- Let's do it.- I'm always hungry.

♪ ♪

- Mmm.

♪ ♪

- Zooplankton, here I come!

I'll eat any tinycritters out there.

- Ha, is there any zooplanktonyou don't eat, Ripple?

- Hmm, well, when you don't havea stomach to hold your food,

you can't be too picky.

You just got to eat and eat.

- You can say thatagain, sister.

all: [gasp] Chompy!

- I mean, I do have a stomach,

but I like to eat, too.

I could chew algae off the coralall day long.

In fact, that's exactlywhat I do--eat!

- Well, if you don't wantto eat alone,

you can come with us.

- Do they have algae or coralwhere you're going?

Because that's allI really do eat.

- You bet yourdorsal fin they do.

- Hey, Chompy, how come youonly eat one kind of plant?

- Yeah, there's a whole, bigocean of plant life out there.

- I guess algae is justwhat parrotfish eat.

- Oh, okay.Well, come on, everyone.

Let's eat!- Yeah!

- Okay!

- Nice view up here.

But why do you guys swimall the way up here

to get your food?

- Oh, this place is great!See?

There's lots and lots of thesetiny microscopic organisms

swimming around in clusters.

- Ooh.

[chomping and gulping]

- Uh, hey, Chompy, uh...

do you want to come join us?

- Oh, why, thank you.

[giggles] So what doyou guys eat, anyway?

- I'm an omnivore.

I eat just about everything--

plants, animals, uh--

oh, that's about it.

So yeah, plants and animals.

- And Bubbles and Ripple and Ieat very tiny creatures

in the water called zooplankton.

[together] And we love it!

- [giggles]

Oh, that is so interesting.

I just eat the algaeoff the coral,

which does keepthe coral healthy

and helps me to to makeall this beautiful sand.

- Ah, sounds great.

Well, enjoy the algae,[chuckles]

- You know, I can eat algaeany old time.

I think I'd like to trysomething new for a change!

- Oh, well, you already had yourdaily recommended serving

of algae, so why not havea little treat?

- Yeah, sort of like a dessert.

- Hmm, dessert, eh?

Oh, I guess it wouldn't hurtto take one little bite.

[giggles]

[slurping]

Mmm, tasty.

[laughing]

- Oh, uh, hey, Chompy,

uh, start slow.

You're new to zooplankton.

- Oh, this is delicious.

Zooplankton, where have youbeen all my life?

[laughing]

- Uh, go easy there, Chompy.

You don't want to end upwith a tummy ache.

- Ha! Are you kidding?

Why would I get a tummy ache

from eating what you eat?

It doesn't give youa tummy ache, right?

Huh?

- Uh, well, that's true.Uh...

- So bring on the dessert.

If a little is good,more must be better.

[slurping]

- Oh!- Are you okay, Chompy?

Is your tummy bothering you?

- Uh, I think it's fine.

I'm just getting full.

I think I'm readyfor a long nap.

Ugh...

[dramatic musical flourish]

- [yawns]

♪ ♪

[overlapping greetings]

- Hey, should we gocheck on Chompy?

- And her tummy ache?

- Aw, that was yesterday.

I'm sure she's okay by now,

but let's go check.

- Oh, what is allthis green stuff?

- I think it's algae.

And it definitely wasnot here yesterday.

- The coral can't breatheand stay healthy

if it's choking in algae.

Ugh!

Oh, this is not good at all.

- That's nasty.- Yeah.

- But wait, Chompytakes care of the reef

by eating all the algae, right?

- That's right.So what's causing this?

- [slurping]

- [gasps] That!Check it out!

- Oh, uh, uh,hey, there, Chompy.

[chuckles] What you doing?

- Oh-ho-ho-ho! I'm havingthe time of my life!

I've given up eating algaegrowing on hard, crusty coral,

now that I know there's a wholeocean of food out there for me.

- Yeah, but Chompy,uh, you see--

- I just finished upsome tiny crustaceans,

a few snails, and...[gasps]

[gulps] And a fewother invertebrates.

Dee-lish!

[giggles]- That does sound pretty yummy.

- Not helping, Dunk.- It is.

And I never would haveknown about it

if it wasn't for you.

And for that, I thank you.

- You're welcome,but, uh, Chompy,

have you noticed anythingunusual around the reef

since you've, um,changed your diet?

- Hmm, unusual?

Unusual like how?

- [coughing]- Whoa!

[all exclaiming]

- That's how.

- Ugh! I haven't seen this muchalgae on the reef since...

ever!

What's going on, Chompy?

- Oh, sheesh.

There is a lotof algae around.

But I think my tummy's too fullof all the other foods

to eat it all.

- Well, then I guess we're gonnahave to get used

to a lot of algaehanging around.

- Sorry, guys.

I didn't mean to cause problems.

I guess eating my new foodis hurting the coral.

And my tummy doesn'tfeel so good, either.

- Don't worry, Chompy.

We'll take care of it.

- You will?- Mm-hmm.

- That's great!

- Ha, ha!

That's our Splash--

always stepping up to the plate

when Reeftown needs him.

Ha, ha!

Oh, gosh, now how do I get homewithout stepping in algae?

- How do you plan to clean upall this algae?

- I have no idea.

But as Reeftown Rangers,

it's our duty to save the coral.

So who's with me?

[laughter]

- Yeah.- Okay, Splash.

So how can we help?

- Well, I hope you guysare hungry,

because we've got a lotof coral to clean.

- I'm always hungry,

but that's the big plan?

We eat the overgrown algae?

- Aw, come on.How hard can it be?

Besides, if we don't do it,

then the coral won't beable to stay healthy.

- It's probably delicious.

Watch.

[chomping]

[sad trombone plays]

[laughs nervously]

- How was it?

- Uh, okay, new plan.

Uh, we wait for Chompyto feel better

and let her eat the algae.

- Aw, thanks, everyone.

It's so nice of youto want to help.

But I'm ready to go backto eating the algae

like I'm used to doing.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

It was fun having all thosegoodies for a while,

but they kind of botheredmy tummy.

I wasn't used to them.

Plus this whole algaeovergrowing the coral problem...

- But won't you miss eatingall that yummy food?

- Not helping.

- Actually, I kind of missed

eating the good, old algaefrom the coral.

There's nothing quitelike that crunch.

Maybe we should all eat the foodthat is right for us.

- Yeah, a treat every once ina while is no big deal, but...

- But we should really stickto what we're meant to eat,

just to keep our bodies healthyand the reef in balance.

- I think you mightbe right, Bubbles.

Well, I have a lot ofalgae-eating to catch up on,

so if you'll excuse me,

it's feeding time!

[laughter]

- Hey, lookwho's back to normal.

- Along withthe rest of Reeftown.

Not a piece of algae in sight.

- Yeah, I like a good messas much as the next fish,

but that was eventoo much for me.

- Yeah, I'm glad I'm back toeating what I'm supposed to eat.

- So, Chompy, since you'veworked so hard

to get the reef back to normal,

do you think you cantake a break

to look at coral formationswith us?

- I'd love to, Splash.

That sounds like a blast.

- Great!- Yeah!

- I love this game!

- And now it's time to... all: Get your feet wet!

- Where does the white sandon this beach come from?

- A lot of the white sand on tropical beaches

that animals live in

and people play in

comes from a fish--

one of the most colorful fish on the reef.

[upbeat music]

- Bubbles?

Yoo-hoo!

I'm here.

Bubbles?

Bubbles!

Oh! [laughing]

Bubbles, what're youdoing in there?

- I'm gonna surprise Dunkwhen he gets here

by doing this--watch.

Blahhhh!- Whoa!

Blah-blah-blah-blah.- [laughing]

- Yeah, watch this one.

[growling]

- Huh? Who was that?

- Who was who?What?

Is it Splash?

Is he already backfrom his adventure?

- No, no, no, no, no.

There's a jellyfish outside.- Huh?

- I have never seen a jellyfisharound here.

Oh, come on.Come on, Bubbles.

- Eh?

[laid-back music]

- Oh, hello.

- Hi, who are you?

- Uh, my name is Bubbles.

- And I'm Ripple.

- Oh, I've never seen fishlike you before.

What kind of fish are you?

Are there more like you?

- Well, I'm a mandarin dragonet,

and I don't knowhow many there are.

- I have brothers,

so there are definitelymore seahorses than that.

- I wonder how manycreatures there are

in the whole, entire ocean.

- Well, it's probablymore than we can count.

- Ooh, I bet that's a lot.

Isn't that amazingto think about?

- Oh, it is, especially whenyou think how many of them

can become new friends.

- Well, now that we're friends,

what's your favoritething to do?

- I like to play in the mud.

I like anything goopy or yucky,

and I am one happy fish.

- Yeah, I like to eat.

Oh, it's just the best.

- Seahorses don't have stomachs.

That's why she hasto eat all the time.

- Yeah.Oh, but what about you?

What's your favoritething to do?

- My favorite thingis to wonder.

- Wonder about what?

- Everything.

There are so many wonderfulthings to wonder about.

[crashing]- Oh!

- Whoops! Hello?

Bubbles? Ripple?

- Oh, we're coming, Dunk.

Oh, that's our friend Dunk.

You'll have to meet him.

- Yeah, I'm sure you'll like himas much as we do.

- Dunk, Dunk, Dunk, Dunk!

Oh, you need to meetour new friend.

She's right outside.- Yeah, yeah.

She's a jellyfish.- A jellyfish?

Cool!

Oh, does she liketo play games?

- Oh, I'm sure she does.

- Ah, we should play tag!

She can be "it."

- Uh, Dunk, I think you forgot

that jellyfish have these, uh,stinging tentacles.

- Oh, okay, maybe not tag.

- Uh, yeah.

- Hey, we're back.

- Oh, I can't waitfor you to meet her.

- Are you sure she was out here?

- Oh, she was justa second ago.

- Ah, there you are.

- Oh, hi!

We brought our friend Dunkto meet you.

- Welcome to our clubhouse.

- We told Dunk how muchfun you are.

- I'm sorry, have we met?

I haven't seen fishlike you before.

What are you?- I'm a pufferfish.

- See?- [chuckles] Very interesting.

And what about you two?What are you?

- Don't you remember us?

We already told you.

I'm a seahorse, and she'sa mandarin dragonet.

- Yeah, and then we talked aboutthe things we like.

- Like how I love to eat.

- Yeah, and howI love the mud.

- And you love to wonder.

- To wonder?- Yeah.

- That doesn't sound like me.

I don't like to wonder at all.

Wondering has toomany questions.

I like to know.

- Know what?- Everything.

It's fun to know things.

And sharing what you knowis more fun.

Did you know a jellyfish's body

is almost entirelymade of water?

- Really?Huh.

I thought you'd bemade of jellyfish.

- Huh?

So you're saying you don'tremember meeting us at all?

- Nope.

- Uh, okay.

Ah, then, um, it's good to meetyou for the first time.

- Yeah, me too.

Bye.

- Bye.

- Hi, Polly.- Hello, Bell.

- This is really weird.

I wonder why shedidn't remember us.

- Yeah, we weren'tgone that long.

- I think she was nice.

She likes to know things.

That's fun.

I wonder how much she knows.

It's probably a lot, huh?

Whoa! Whoo!

[gasps]

I'm gonna ask herwhat she knows.

That's what she'd do--

get answers.

Excuse me.- Huh?

- Uhh?

- [humming]- Hey-o!

I have a question.

- Ooh, I love questions.

They're so much fun.- Uh-huh.

- I'll go first.

What type of fish are you?

- Wait, what?

Uh, but you just met me.

- I did? When?

You mean right now?

Hi!- Uh, remember?

I'm Dunk.I can puff up.

- [gasps]That's so fascinating.

I've never seen that before.

- But--you just--

and then you met me--and then I was--

I'll be right back.

[laughs nervously]

- Okay, bye.

Aw, he seems nice.

[indistinct chatter]

- Now she doesn'tremember me.

- [sighs] I knowexactly how you feel.

- [sighs] There has to besomething we're missing.

- Like what?

- Maybe there's morethan one jellyfish.

all: Ooooh.

- Nope.- Aww.

- Still only see one.

[all sigh heavily]

- Ahhh!

- Uh?- And now there's none.

- Oh, this is gettingreally confusing.

- Hey, everybody!

Ready to play some games?

[all muttering softly]

- But then she was--she was--

- Uh, guys, what--what'd I miss?

- Ah! She's back!

- Hey! Wait up!- Let's go!

- I got to talk to you!- Whoa!

- Have you ever wonderedwhere this reef came from?

It doesn't look like a rock.

I wonder what it is.

Oh, a new fish.Hi, I'm Bell.

- Hi, I'm Splash.

- Nice to meet you.

- [chuckles] Well, guys,she seems nice.

- Oh, she is,but sometimes she changes.

- Wha--how do you mean?

- Oh, look.[all scream]

A new fish.

- She does that.

- Uh?- Nice to meet you.

- Well, you know whatwe need to do?

- We need to figure this outonce and for all.

- Yeah.

Hey, Bell, Bell!Hey, Bell!

- Bell?My name isn't Bell.

I'm Polly.

- Wait, didn't you sayyour name was Bell?

- Oh, I feel like we're playinga really, really confusing game.

- A game?I love games.

[together]D'oh? Wha?

Huh?

Ohhhh.

- This explains everything.

- It really, really does.

- Hey--hey, Bubbles.

Are you still lookingfor that jellyfish?

Uh, wait--there are two of you?

- [laughs] Yeah.

Meet Polly and Bell.

- Well, but I thought you saidthere was only one jellyfish.

- [sighs]This happens all the time.

- Whenever I meet someone new,

they always thinkI'm someone else.

I wonder if it'sbecause we're clones.

[together] Clones?

- It's almost like a twin.

And we look exactly alike.

It's because we camefrom the same polyp.

- That's right, jellyfish don'talways look like this.

They first start offas a very tiny polyp.

- They come from a polyp?

- Well, it's like a stemthat's so small,

you can barely see them.

And at the top, little jellyfishsprout off and float away.

- Then they grow up to looklike Polly and Bell.

- And jellyfish that comefrom the same polyp

are identical clones.

- Wow, I didn't know that part.

- Yay!Jellyfish are so awesome!

- Yeah!- Whoo-hoo!

[guitar riff]

- Ha, ha!Who knew that some jellyfish

are identical clones?

- Yeah, so does that meanthat you're exactly the same?

- We're very, very different.

I like to dance aroundand play games.

- I enjoy games as well.

But not the same games.

- What games do youlike to play?

- I like to play "Questions."

That's the best game ever.

- I disagree.

The best game is "Answers."

That's when you say thingsthat are true.

- Well, let's play one.

- Which one?"Questions" or "Answers"?

- Hmm, well, why don'twe play both?

"Questions" and "Answers."

- That sounds fun!

Uh, let's see.

Why don't jellyfish tentacles

ever get tangled?

- That's becausethey're slippery.

They also don'tsting themselves.

- I got one.

Where do you get your colors?

- Where do we get our colors?

- We are spotted jellyfish,

so we get our colors fromteeny-tiny algae cells

in our bodies.

- Cool!- Wow!

- It's amazing we thoughtyou two were the same jellyfish

when it's so easy now to seehow different you are.

- Yeah, we just hadto get to know you.

- Ooh, ooh! Question!

Who are the two most interestingjellyfish in the ocean?

[together] Who?

- Answer...

all: You!

[laughter]

[overlapping chatter]- That was a good question.

- That was so interesting.

[overlapping chatter]

- Hi, everybody, I'm Splash

and I'm a yellowback fusilier.

You can always identify us yellowback fusiliers

by the bright yellow stripe along the top of our bodies.

Which is where we get our name.

Yellowback fusiliers love to play

in big groups or schools.

Just like you love to play on teams

or in big groups of friends.

But unlike other schooling fish,

fusiliers will school with other types of fish, too.

Which is good for me

because I love making new friends just like you.

- Hi, there. We want to talk to you about something

very important to us.

A lot of you have pets at home, and that's great.

Some of you may even have fish as a pet

which is also really great.

- But if you do, make sure your species

of fish is okay living in a fish t*nk.

While it's fine for some fish to live in fish tanks,

many others, like us, aren't meant to.

- Our species were meant to live

in their natural habitat: the ocean.

And that way you can always find us

right here in Reeftown.

- Hey, there, it's your old pal Gush

and I got a question for you.

What's your favorite color?

Chances are that a painter's frogfish like myself

can be that color.

We can come in a variety of colors

just like the paint used by painters.

Ha ha.

We frogfish may seem slow,

but we can be pretty fast when we wanna be.

We have an amazing ability to push water

out of our gills which makes us move

very quickly through the water.

It's like our own personal turbo boost.
