Canvas Print : Fire coral
Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
Fire coral
Fire coral (Millepora sp.). This organism is not a true coral, but instead a colonial hydrozoan that is closely related to jellyfish. It is named for the stinging cells (nematocysts) that it uses to paralyse its prey. These cells can inflict a painful sting to humans. Fire coral is important in building reefs; its branching calcium carbonate skeletons may reach tens of centimetres high. Photographed in the Red Sea

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Fire coral (Millepora sp. ) in its natural habitat. Despite its name, this organism is not a true coral but rather a colonial hydrozoan closely related to jellyfish. Its vibrant orange coloration and intricate branching structure make it an enchanting sight to behold. However, beneath its stunning appearance lies a formidable predator. The fire coral derives its name from the stinging cells known as nematocysts that it employs to paralyze unsuspecting prey. These same cells can also inflict a painful sting on humans, serving as a potent defense mechanism. Beyond its predatory nature, fire coral plays a vital role in reef building within marine ecosystems. Its branching calcium carbonate skeletons can grow several tens of centimeters high, contributing to the formation and stability of reefs underwater. Photographed in the Red Sea, this image captures the essence of marine life's diversity and complexity. It serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness between different species and their importance in maintaining ecological balance. With keywords such as ocean, zoology, poison, stinging reef, and under water among others associated with this photograph by Science Photo Library; it offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the delicate beauty and dangerous potential that coexist within our oceans' depths.
