Coral reef in near shore tropical waters.
Spotted about 100 yards offshore of Po'ohuna Point (near Makua Beach) on Leeward Oahu in about 35 feet of water; day and month of spotting are notional: only 1994 is known to be correct. Original medium was photoprint, taken with Nikonos V using flash; print subsequently scanned and image saved as digital file.
