Coral reef underwater view in Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia

The color of Gorgonian Seafan Annella mollis varies and ranges from cream-colored to pink and orange. The close-meshed skeleton of the species in the family Subergorgiidae consists of fused sclerites and gorgonin, so it is extraordinarily flexible and thus perfectly adapted to strong currents. This white specimen, unusual for that region, is bleached. A lot of small fishes, mainly Anthias and Damselfishes are there. Palau, Micronesia, 6°59'10.52 N 134°13'7.34 E at 32m depth

$The genus Acropora has the largest number of species of all the hard corals, and they are among the important building blocks of a reef. Larger colonies are more commonly seen on undisturbed and remote reefs. Many species grow into branching forms that give rise to common names like \$

$Next to Tayandu Island there are Karangs, shallow areas that reach a few meters below the surface. They are full of life. Table Acropora exceeded three metres in size here, reaching up to four metres.\nThis colony was badly damaged. Damage happens often by mix of storms, earthquakes and destructive fishing practices. \nThis colony has a good overgrowth of dead portions, a high lesion repair. The white edges are the growth zones.\nIn 2023, when this photo was taken, the stress resistance, recovery, and overall reef health and resilience potentials of this coral community were all high.\nKarang Huisman, Tayandu Island, Indonesia, \n5°28'41.72 S 132°13'21.31 E at 11m depth$

$At this very healthy reef at Karang Huisman, a sea mountain near Tayandu Island, large Acropora Table Corals and Porites Corals dominate the scenery. \nPorites is one of the most common scleractinian coral species on Indonesian reefs. The average of coral growth rates ranged from 0.8-1.2 cm/year. So this coral must be very old. \nKarang Huisman, Tayandu Island, Indonesia, 5°28'41.7221 S 132°13'21.3085 E at 11m depth$
