Underwater Wednesday: Staghorn Coral

Today’s Underwater Wednesday may resemble a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, but it’s actually a type of staghorn coral...

...And I think its perky symmetrical branches are just begging to be adorned with some festive Christmas tree ornaments!
 
This coral was about 2 feet tall and Michael took the photo at a depth of about 40 feet during a night dive.

Michael and I wish you a very Merry Christmas!
