My friends at Sea Sport - Florence and Lina

The water temp at Mapur was 29.1C today - 2 degrees cooler than a month ago. Much of the bleaching has been reversed and there is much new growth. Found lots of giant clams this time
Here is a garden - with lots of little blue fish, coral and colors
A purple coral
Diving to take a closer look
Brown stag horn coral
Many colors of acropora and Pachyseris speciosa (lower left)
I like to take a dive and then shoot across the tops of the coral - sometimes there are a few fish - other times, just silt, but usually interesting photos.
Many small blue fish. Not great focus but you get the idea
Shooting across acropora
Almost a sphere
A feather worm, retracted. You can see the tips of the feathers
Partially extension of the feathers
Fully extended feathers
Looking across the top of this cone-like coral. A small acropora colony
Brownish giant clam
Same calm with the musculature retracted, exposing the white shell
Another view
The color purple - Pachyseris speciosa

I need to identify this class of coral. I see them everywhere but somehow forget to identify them

These little guys are quite colorful
I think this is a tiger rock fish
