A large table coral over 5 feet in diameter found growing on the top edge of a large lagoon coral pinnacle was aptly being used as a dinner table for a resident octopus. Many of the shells seemed most likely found deeper down the pinnacle so we can envision the wily octopus returning from his nightly foraging to partake of his feast at the center of his table and perhaps a safe distance from his den.
