Tubastrea, also known as tube coral, is a fascinating and vibrant species found in various locations around the world. One such location is the Philippines, where the DDE-90024596 spotfin lionfish can be seen swimming gracefully among these corals. The sight of a spiny sea star, Gomophia Egeria, resting on a colony of green tube coral at night in the Fiji Islands is truly mesmerizing. In Hawaii, we can observe the intricate details of orange tube coral (Tubastrea Faulneri), showcasing its stunning beauty up close. Similarly, a detailed view of stony cup coral reveals its captivating structure and colors. Moving on to Indonesia's Raja Ampat region, we encounter an enchanting colony of bright cup corals that adds vibrancy to this underwater paradise. The Fijian reef scene offers another glimpse into Tubastrea's habitat - cup coral polyps hanging delicately under ledges on the reef. Here in Beqa Lagoon in Fiji, we witness these incredible creatures feeding as their polyps extend to capture nutrients from their surroundings during nighttime. Yellow tube coral (Tubastrea) provides yet another spectacle when viewed up close while feeding at night; its yellow hue illuminates the darkness surrounding it. Once again returning to Fiji's reefscape, we are captivated by cup coral polyps hanging beneath ledges with grace and elegance.
