Soft coral - Sarcophyton sp.

This delicate species of Sarcophyton soft coral is quite different from the ones we commonly find at Kwaj. There were hundreds of these mushroom shaped corals with long stemmed polyps in some areas transforming them into a "Fantasyland" of starbursts. This one was 40mm.
