The corals on most of the reefs around Hurghada are no match for those farther south along the Egyptian coast, and around Sinai.<BR/><BR/>@ Shannon - This species is a hard coral in the family <I>Dendrophylliidae</I>.<BR/><BR/>@ ScinceGuy - The corallites of this species don't always grow in this pattern. This is quite a mature, dense colony. We also have seen smaller colonies of the same species that are less dense, and form cup-like shapes.<BR/><BR/>To those who mentioned the unusual green color, that color comes from symbiotic algae that live in the coral's tissues.<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-66160964053703850802009-01-14T17:33:00.000-10:002009-01-14T17:33:00.000-10:00That looks like beautiful lettuce...yep, you're ri...That looks like beautiful lettuce...yep, you're right...not for salad but a really cool shot.
