Fungia up close
I took this close up photo of the coral Fungia last week off the central Pacific island of Raiatea while on an amazing cruise on the SSV Robert C Seamans with SEA Semester. I used the incredible new Olympus Tough camera. Those are tentacles you can see protruding from the ridges of the skeleton. See more photos from the backreef of French Polynesia here.
