Bonaire underwater polyps

[Rick Nantais]

For those of you who have seen Cameron Avatar movie, this is the inspiration behind these polyps that collapse in the movie. This picture was taken with a Nikon D200 w 60mm macro in a Aquatica housing. Two UW strobes for the lights.

Beautiful organisms - the polyps put on a stunning color show. The surrounding darkness at this depth isolates the subjects well.
