Tubbataha, Philippines Apr-May 2022

Diving Tubbataha Reef Marine Park aboard the MY Philippine Siren.

This huge "tree" of soft corals (6-8 ft high) looked for all the world like a floral arrangement. All of its thousands of individual polyps (looking like small blossoms) are open/feeding. You have to remind yourself that all corals (as well as sponges and most everything else in the sea) are colonies of ANIMALS, not plants.
