"Dendrophylliidae: The Majestic Stony Coral Skeletons" Witness the breathtaking beauty of Dendrophylliidae, a family of Hexacorallia known for their stunning stony coral skeletons. In the turquoise waters surrounding Kosrae, a giant clam (Tridacna gigas) finds solace amidst the vibrant Lettuce coral (Turbinaria reniformis), creating an awe-inspiring underwater tableau. In the Gulf of Bohai, the Sun/Tube coral (Tubastraea sp) extends its delicate tentacles to capture zooplankton, showcasing nature's intricate feeding mechanisms. As night falls in Baja, a close-up reveals mesmerizing polyps emerging from a coral tree (Tubastraea coccinea), casting an ethereal glow upon the ocean depths. Venturing further into Malpelo Island National Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, we encounter the captivating Orange cup coral (Tubastrea coccinea). Its vivid hue stands out against the backdrop of marine life as it thrives in this protected sanctuary. Fiji unveils another enchanting sight as tube corals come alive under moonlit skies—a true spectacle that showcases nature's nocturnal wonders. Amongst these thriving ecosystems lies an intriguing symbiotic relationship between Spiny Sea Stars (Gomophia Egeria) and colonies of Green Tube Coral (Tubastrea Micrantha). Underneath Fiji's starry nightscape, these creatures coexist harmoniously on reefs—an exquisite example of biodiversity at its finest. Raja Ampat in Indonesia presents yet another marvel—a colony of bright cup corals adorning its pristine waters. Their radiant colors create an otherworldly scene that leaves spectators spellbound by Mother Nature's artistic prowess. Meanwhile, beneath ledges on Fijian reefs hang Cup coral polyps—graceful and delicate—as they sway with gentle currents, creating a mesmerizing underwater ballet.
