气泡珊瑚
泡沫珊瑚正在慢慢成为我favori之一te species to photograph. Despite having only a handful of species I’ve still managed to find beautiful diversity, in bubble shape, size, and color.
虽然常见的颜色是白色或棕褐色的,但我能够找到一些带有斑点绿色图案的脱颖而出的殖民地,以及在Fluoro灯光下的猫眼标记。在捕捉巨大的殖民地时,在野外拍摄这些珊瑚的优势是一个优点,或者能够以触手充满的夜间露面来靠近和个人。
气泡珊瑚是一种石质珊瑚,具有圆形葡萄形或泪珠形的气泡。膨胀的气泡是白天在息肉中充满水的触角的一部分。气泡的额外表面积使Zooxanthellae捕获更多的光。
Bubble corals are just big polyps and have a mouth in the center. I have been searching for a perfect shot showing off the mouth at the center and finally got it on my last trip! This is a great coral to show divers as they often believe bubble corals are fish eggs until you can show them the polyp’s mouth. At night these corals swap their soft bubbly appearance for long pointy feeding tentacle.
The most common type has round bubbles either with a meandering skeleton,Plerogyra sinuosa,或分支骨骼,plerogyra单纯形。您还可以找到具有迷宫般的骨骼的大量气泡珊瑚。
这种蜿蜒的类型形式的气泡以小珍珠形状,当夜晚关闭时,蜿蜒的骨骼更为明显。这个珊瑚在一个单独的属中Physogyra Lichtensteini,是本系列中的最后一张图像。
