Coral Beauty



My latest passion is taking pictures of the gorgeous coral all around Key West. Coral has always been the backdrop for fish pictures, but sometimes the fish just aren't around. This is some sort of parasite coral living on a bigger rock style coral. Did you know that the colors on coral is not the actual coral itself? It's algae that lives on the coral. When you see the dead coral fields in front of Key West, all bleached out, that's just coral without its algae. This coral would look bleached too, if you took away its friendly alage.
