Rewatching jake videos, RIP Jake hopefully you are in coral heaven taking care of them.

[@georged5433]

Rip jake. Guy had the the best selection of music in these intros.

[@davidlong8509]

I can tell by the shimmer this reef was lit by Kessils :)

[@antonp6917]

Nah illumagic

[@ChromeDove]

Lol! Kessils!

[@Harolddespui]

Ecotech fanboys saying that Kessil shimmer is exaggerated. No it isn't.

[@MileHighReefers]

I’m so jealous. I love seeing them in their natural environment

[@Ryan_Maineaquaria]

This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done. Sinularia and lobophytum are at the top of my list of favorite corals and they’re so under appreciated in the reef hobby.

[@MrKelleyalexander]

We will certainly miss you Jake!

[@miguelsalty]

I appreciate you sharing your personal experience, thank you 🐟🐬

[@reef2rainforest]

Such beautiful footage! Soft corals have always been and always will be my favorite corals in the hobby. Thank you for sharing this footage with us.

[@Alex_Correa]

Very good example of some soft corals' video to show people how they actually love strong light! They love halides! Thanks for sharing. You lucky boy! Love the video!!

[@Manitu71]

stunning video well done Reef Builders!!

[@Broton420]

Just stunning. I don’t know anyone on YT in the aquarium space that comes CLOSE to your production and knowledge. Love it!

[@Sky-ym3nb]

Jake . I don’t know why you only have 50 k members . I subscribe to your channel and many others and I think you have one of the best contents by far. You should work for National Geographic or something. Keep up the good work man!

[@skookumchuckreefer978]

Wish I could get there.don’t think I’d ever get bored exploring the waters.

[@jonrude24]

Great filming with commentary. Any level of reefer or viewer can appreciate. Can wait for the next dive.

[@bluereef9530]

Thanks for sharing what you see. Keep them coming. I can't wait to add more SPS .

[@margaretkamm4248]

I love this. Engaging local communities is the only way we're going to save the reefs.

[@goonadventures1]

This is why im subscribed to this channel! You have some seriously great content Jake! Can't wait for more videos 😊

[@saml8119]

Nice smooth under water footage. I love seeing a forest of natural coral. All of my footage from free diving to view coral is so shaky it’s like an enchanting world on way too much caffeine lol. Never had the experience of coral being so close to the surface you can just snorkel like that

[@highlandmatt3869]

Great video Jake, love that you showed the softies too, as lots of people seem to just concentrate on sps or lps .

[@schummelpilz]

Really enjoyed this reefer s narration of diving/snorkeling! Would love to see more videos like this

[@timothyboles6457]

Awesome stuff, great to see all these corals in a natural habitat, and really awesome that you are trying to restart the coral farming in the area.

[@SteHughes90]

Incredible!

[@FECtetra1918]

That was awesome to watch!

[@camillitime]

once again I enjoyed your video Jake. You looked really happy to be there and I can understand why.

[@volteface69]

Merci Jake ADAMS !!!

[@captivebredcanada]

Great video! Loved seeing all the softies, can't wait for the sps. I had a really nice acro from the Solomon Islands I lost more then 10 years ago I still think about. Hope we see corals from here back in North America soon.

[@frederikskovgaard206]

Love your videos - You always know ur into some good entertainments when you guys post something.

[@Shielane]

Absolutely stunning! I was mesmerized! Can't wait for the next video!

[@zerberus2525]

Simply wow! Would love to snorkel there! That softie-garden amazing. I love em too, have some dif.species in my mixed reef - at night with only royal light - stunners, golden shiny nearly like a good ol golden torch. Awesome video Jake!

[@ChromeDove]

MAN! That was AMAZING! Thanks for sharing Jake!

[@manuelmaldonadojr2526]

I love your video thank you.

[@uglymansreefing1862]

Fantastic soft coral reef, glad to see you are giving the soft corals some screen time as they seem to be under appreciated lately compared to stony corals and the latest zoa craze. Thanks Jake :)

[@rhombifer566]

Rip Mr Adams

[@neuwave1]

Great video. I miss the Solomon true percula clowns. A truly gorgeous specimen.

[@balkin33]

Amazing thank you!

[@RipVanWinkle_Nature_Discovery]

Only an hour snorkeling? I'm usually in there for several hours (4-5) before I realize how much time has gone by. You're a better man than me. :D Great quality vids though, have to say. Good stuff. Following this.

[@CJSAQUARIUMS]

awesome work!!! last time I snorkeled i almost drowned so couldn't record the corals i got to see hahhahaha! Keep doing what you do!

[@braveheartreefer525]

Loved that video thanks for sharing your impressions 🤜🏾

[@eddyortiz8110]

That was so cool! If you like corals this place is heaven Wow the the fish those Regal Angels 😍💛💙were gorg! Great video can't wait !😉✌🌿

[@CescaTheDarkHorse]

Nice video enjoyed watching :)

[@insanity4224]

Interesting to see the distribution of coral in their natural environment. That baby fish nursery was literally just like in Finding Nemo lol

[@FriendM2010]

Love the pairing choice of intro music to video... Interesting substrate and rubble things are growing out of ... You can literally dive off the porch into your own massive reef for the week... what eatable seafood makes it to dinner table?

[@ImCools]

Yo Tim from unique corals what’s good bro! You didn’t tell me and you and Jake were doing a crazy trip like this?!?🤩

[@scottm9605]

Those enormous sarcophytons though! What incredible animals!

[@FriendM2010]

Jake, could you please get a par reading on that millepora for us? Look at the shading around it from surface agitation?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

the sun is roughly 2200 umols/m2/s at the equator at noon at sea level - I'd say in three feet of water its still right around 1200-1500 umols, but hard to measure due to all the lensing by the waves which causes higher peaks

[@FriendM2010]

Thx, appreciate the info.... Gonna make me do some math of umols to par 😏.

[@thereefinrican]

Awesome video. Your so lucky.

[@h2opets928]

Great work man , Ur passionate I love it

[@JCarey]

@ 11:35 🤩🤩 I love it!!

[@michellefrancis5682]

Jake Adams is awesome awesome video

[@blumac9801]

One thing aquarium channels have problems with is getting to the point. Half way through the video and we are not to the point Anyways, awesome video. I liked it

[@bluethumbaquaculture6370]

amazing! ty ty ty!

[@ChristopherLozada-si9ge]

Lov it i want to go!!!

[@reefpoelman862]

I have that same hat

[@reefpoelman862]

Loved the vid

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Limited edition, I only made 12!

[@glennrudolph]

Dang. Looked for you at RAP. No such luck. Hope you made it here in Orlando and had fun!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Still here ;-)

[@glennrudolph]

Hate I missed meeting you!

[@MoeReefs]

Awesome video. Is there a way to shoot actinic light bright enough to bring out all the florescence on camera?

[@tristanhen2915]

so cool man!

[@lisafoster4468]

Were you guys actually picking out bits for the farms this trip, or just scouting?

[@1reefluvr2]

Makes me miss Fiji 😭

[@carolinab2209]

Can you tell me the plant that’s seen growing with the donut coral around 5:26? I would love to add a few to my soft coral tank but have never seen them for sale.

[@chrisblanco3307]

Song? At the beginning

[@callmenemo491]

'Paradise' ... no disagreement here. any plans for coral diving over in Tahiti (Bora Bora) ?

[@pipsqueak631]

I let a 75 gallon become taken over by Waving Hand Anthelia. A species tank can look very natural.

[@fredykosasih9192]

sorry out of the reefing topic but what is the song's title at the beginning?

[@ThanhHa-fm2nw]

What coral is that at 3:51? the white one?

[@johnl.5641]

thats watz up

[@judahchepil5846]

Are u bringing some corals back?

[@garvinp.1409]

what is the name of the intro song?

[@Robbla4550]

that was in.credible.

[@davidtheone880]

Man. Aren’t you tempted to grab some stone cutters and take a little bit of coral home?

[@mdakramakram7951]

1234

[@mdakramakram7951]

v 😨😈😤

[@markmckinnell2204]

Come on Jake, softies don’t shine they are brown and boring as your vlog showed - this was proved by the only colour in the piece being a long tentacled anemone and the monti’s and milli’s. Only a marine biologist can see the beauty in softies 😂🤣
