Check out these giant acropora colonies off the Hawaiian Islands. Thought these were some great photos of amazing corals in their natural habitat. Notice the natural actinic hues. These are 100% natural no modifications. Also, check out that insane urchin...:hypnotyized:

Photos were taken by Jim Maragos of the Pacific Basin Information Node.

Very nice... I'll be doing some diving in Fiji next summer, I'd like to catch a couple of tables myself. Wish they would have caught the real color of the gemmifera, its a nice purple and definately one of my all time favs
