Sun Coral Tubastraea faulkneri is a large polyp stony coral from the family Dendrophyliidae. The species occurs all over the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean in a wide depth range of 3-225 meters, often in greater densities on vertical walls and caves. \nThese corals are slow growers and they do not contribute to coral reef development. Unlike many tropical corals, they are azooxanthellate or non-photosynthetic, meaning that they do not live in symbiosis with zooxanthellae in their tissues, allowing them to grow in complete darkness as long as they can capture enough food, usually plankton. \nThey extend their translucent tentacles like these specimen during the late evening and the night, while during the day the tentacles are completely withdrawn. \nTriton Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia, 3°54'2.454 S 134°6'23.7 E at 14m depth

Diploastrea heliopora occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific Ocean in a depth range from 3-15m from the Red Sea  and East Africa to Western Australia, to the Ryukyu Islands and Fiji. This is one of the most easily recognised and least variable of all massive corals. The diameter of a single corallite is 8-10 millimetres. Diploastrea heliopora forms dense, robust, dome-shaped coral colonies. This slow-growing (2 to 6 mm/year) coral has the potential to yield continuous paleoclimate records spanning up to 1000 years for the warmest waters on Earth, the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool, and has a long fossil history as a single recognizable species. \nThe foto was taken in day time, the tentacles are retracted, as they extended only at night. \nSoanggi Island, Banda Sea, Indonesia 4°19'34.3773 S 129°42'21.3856 E at 14m depth

Orange Cup Coral Tubastraea coccinea occurs in tropical and subtropical Western Atlantic and Indo-Pacific in a depth range from 1-37m. This large-polyp stony coral is not a reef building species. The coral extends beautiful translucent tentacles at night. Tubastraea coccinea does not contain zooxanthellae in its tissues as many tropical corals do, allowing it to grow in complete darkness as long as it can capture enough food.\nThis large colony has fully open polyps during the day, \nbecause they are on the side facing away from the sun under a ledge. \nTriton Bay, Kaimana Regency, West Papua Province, Indonesia\n3°54'50.604 S 134°6'0.828 E at 6m depth

It belongs to the family Zoanthidae and is sought after for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The Sunray Zoanthid features polyps with circular disc-like shapes and a range of colors, including bright yellow, orange, and sometimes green or brown. These polyps form colonies, creating a beautiful display on the reef. They are known for their hardiness and adaptability, thriving in a wide range of lighting and water conditions. Sunray Zoanthids are highly valued by reef enthusiasts and contribute to the visual diversity and splendor of coral ecosystems.
