Hawaiian Coral |
I just had to get those terrible unsharp images out of my mind so I made these captures. This is a 100 capture stack at 2.6X using a different lens. Notice the sand grains in the openings.
Did I mention that my son Chad and his wife Megan brought back this coral from their visit to Hawaii 2 years ago this March? I am so pleased with it!

This is the same piece of coral where a part chipped off revealing the side view of the polyp openings. A little animal, a polyp, lived in each of those openings. The polyps secretee calcium carbonate to form their little "house". Later generations will inhabit vacated openings adding to them using their secretions.
This is a 225 capture focus stack.
