we call them orange cup corals in ecuador. amazing things, when they come out at night they have amazing orange translucent 'arms', there's a challenge for you des. they will even come out on dull light in the daytime.

nice image, excellent dof. i'm loving it.

That's pretty cool Des. Only been diving in the Indian ocean with a disposable camera. Would love some decent kit to photograph with underwater. :toast:
