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.

Looking good, Andrew. Do you have any images of the sun corals feeding?

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.
