Hawaiian Coral

Hawaiian Coral
Chad and Megan went to Hawaii a couple years ago and brought me this coral.  This shot is at 8x.

It looks to me like the coral may have grown around the darker brown. 
 A little animal, a polyp, lived here and excreted the calcium carbonate for its exoskeleton.  It was probably part of the reef builders group.
