Best of Mike #89

You know how much I like to make shapes and textures stand out by doing extreme close-ups.

Well here I go again.

While I often appreciate the beauty of the corals underwater, both soft and hard.... coral identification is my weakest area.

I am thinking that this is one of the Sea Rods (the purple part) with it's polyps (the white parts) extended to filter nutrients from the water.... but that is really just a big guess.
