Fantastic shots Andrew.
In the first one, are the "tentacles" really that clear? I thought Sun corals only came in yellow or black.

That's exactly how they appeared. I believe it is actually
Dendrophyllia rather than
Tubastraea, but the two genera are impossible to tell apart without seeing the detail of the corallites.

That would explain it then

Andrew.
These are of your usual high standard. Sharp, colourful and an insight into a world I'm not likely to see.

No. It would be very easy to get some feeding in an aquarium.
