Aquatic Passion Photo of the Month Winner – September 2009

Congratulations to Chad for this cool photo of a Trumpet Coral – Caulastrea echinulata

A very similar species to the Candycane coral C. furcata. The trumpet coral is usually less colorful than the candycane and has trumpet shaped polyps which are more closely packed. See pictures illustrating the Candycane and Trumpet Coral differences.
