soft coral

Description:

Habitat:

sub-tropical reef ecosystem

Notes:

at least, I think these are pics of soft coral; spotted off the west coast of Okinawa in water less than 40 feet deep; date is notional, but correct within a month; location is approximate but correct within five miles north or south along the coast; original media photoprints, probably taken with Nikonos III using flash; prints subsequently scanned and images saved as digital files
