$Detail of a Sea Whip. Soft corals are sessile, they cannot hide or run away from predators or space competitor. Instead, they produce a range of chemical substances, which effectively deter predators, prevent overgrowth by neighbours or fouling organisms. \nThe terms «sea fan» and «sea whips» describe the shape, but they are both Octocorallia. «Sea fans»or «gorgonians» are Octocorallia with a fan-shaped morphology, contrasting them with unbranched species, which they generally call «sea whips». In science there is no distinct dividing line between soft corals and gorgonians. \nTriton Bay, Indonesia \n3°54'52.062 S 134°7'21.384 E at 10m depth$

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tentacles like these specimen during the late evening and the night, while during the day the tentacles are completely withdrawn.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

Euphyllia ancora, Fimbriaphyllia ancora or Euphyllia ancora, is a hard coral. Euphylliidae. It is known by several common names, including anchor coral and hammer coral, or less frequently as sausage coral, ridge coral, or bubble honeycomb coral. Indo-Pacific ocean.

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