Milleporidae, also known as fire corals, are a fascinating and vibrant species found in the Red Sea. In the Ras Mohammed National Park in Sinai, Egypt, these stunning corals create a breathtaking scene. The reef is alive with activity as female Scalefin anthias fish gracefully swim around the fire coral colonies. The currents bring an abundance of plankton to the reef, providing a feast for these beautiful fish. It's mesmerizing to watch them dart and glide through the water, their orange bodies contrasting against the vibrant red hues of the Millepora dichotoma. As morning sunlight filters through the water, male Emperor angelfish can be seen swimming over gardens of fire corals. Their striking colors stand out against this underwater paradise. These majestic creatures add another layer of beauty to this already enchanting scene. Amongst the fire coral colonies on Guanaja Island in Honduras' Caribbean Sea, blade fire coral provides protection against hurricanes with its sturdy structure. Juvenile Damselfish seek refuge amongst these colonies, finding safety amidst their branches. In other parts of Roatan Island in Honduras' Caribbean Sea, diverse hard coral growth can be observed alongside Millepora complanata colonies. This creates a captivating split-level photo opportunity that showcases both types of corals thriving together. The vibrancy continues as Anthias fish gather near Fire coral and soft corals like Dendronephthya sp. , Scleronephthya sp. , creating an explosion of color beneath the surface. The contrast between their bright orange bodies and fiery red Millepora dichotoma is truly awe-inspiring. Whether it's witnessing schools of Scalefin anthias swimming gracefully or admiring Emperor angelfish gliding above gardens of fire corals at sunrise or exploring diverse hard coral growth alongside blade fire coral colonies - each moment spent observing Milleporidae is filled with wonder and amazement.
