This Close-up of a Dendronephthya sp. Soft Coral has the focus on the Stem and reveals the awesome pattern of the sclerites. These spiny skeletal elements are important for the support of these corals, the spiky structure also deters predators and is useful in species ID.

Equisetum (horsetail, snake grass, puzzlegrass) is the only living genus in Equisetaceae for education in laboratory.
Acropora corals are among the fastest growing corals on reefs, and are excellent reef-builders. Staghorn corals often out-compete all other corals in shallow tropical reefs, however, their speed of growth (which is usually 10 to 20 centimetres a year) is balanced by the fragility of some of the structures, as they are easily damaged in storms allowing other coral species a chance of growth. \nWhen the Banda volcano last blew its top in 1988, a large lava flow swept down the northern slope into the ocean, covering a large part of reef in volcanic rock. What many thought would be the total destruction of the reef has instead become one of the most incredible coral reefs in Indonesia. Measured from ground zero after the eruption in 1988, this particular reef is known to be the fastest growing coral in the world.\nLava Flow of Neira Island, Banda Sea, Indonesia, 4°30'20.4203 S 129°52'57.4531 E at 11m depth

The Merten's Carpet Sea Anemone Stichodactyla mertensii is the largest sea anemone with a diameter of over 1 m and is a host to around half the species of Anemonefish species. The blunt or pointed tentacles are max. 2cm long. This is just the edge of the mantle with the first row of tentactles. At the north side of Pura Island, Indonesia, 8°16'37.87\

The appearance of this pretty coral belies its aggressive behavior. Many individual coral polyps form colonies which join together at the base of their skeletons. These colonies grow to form branches, columns, solid colonies that are dome-shaped, or colonies that adhere close to the substrate. Colonies may be meters across and sometimes whole sections of a reef face are covered exclusively by one branching Goniopora species. Goniopora lobata, daisy coral, is named for its extremely large, flower-like polyps, and can grow to cover areas of six to ten meters. Each polyp has 24 long and fleshy tentacles that are normally extended day and night, although these quickly retract when touched revealing the massive skeletons beneath. Each Goniopora species differs in the shape and colour of their polyps, which allows their identification underwater. \nThe species occurs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans; from the coast of Mozambique, to the Red Sea, and east to northern Australia, southern Japan and Hawaii. \nFlowerpot corals are most commonly found in turbid water protected from strong wave action.Flowerpot corals are capable of developing elongated sweeper polyps, like the sweeper tentacles of other corals, which can inflict severe tissue damage on a coral within their reach. It is therefore unusual to see other coral species growing close to the flowerpot coral, and it is believed that this adaptation benefits the flowerpot coral in the intense competition for space on the reef. \nFlowerpot corals have separate male and female colonies (not all corals do) which release sperm and eggs into the water for external fertilisation. The fertilised egg develops into a free-swimming larva that will eventually settle on the substrate and develop into new colonies.\nTriton Bay, Indonesia \n3°54'52.062 S 134°7'21.384 E at 17m depth
