$Dendronephthya Soft Coral and Orange Cup Coral Tubastraea coccinea dominate the scenery at this colorful rock overhang. But there are Feather Star Fishes, Sponges and Colonial Ascidians too and a lot of Anthias and Damselfishes inbetween. \nIn the background there are Wrasses, Breams, Parrotfishes, Surgeonfishes and Butterflyfishes, a high biodiversity.\nTubastraea coccinea, a large-polyp stony coral, is not a reef building species. The coral extends beautiful translucent tentacles at night and in daytime on sunprotected areas of the reef like on this rock overhang. Tubastraea coccinea does not contain zooxanthellae in its tissues as many tropical corals do, allowing it to grow in complete darkness as long as it can capture enough food. \nTriton Bay, Westpapua, Indonesia 3°57'58.68 S 134°9'6.27 E at 9m depth$
