Yesterday I took some pictures of these beautiful redskins. A whole family is living on a big coral head 80 feet deep and as you see many together, young and old. We searched the whole area for more but didn't find any, and we never saw one anywhere else.
Anybody knows what they are, or saw them? I guess they're some kind of corallimorph, but I can't find them (also not in the Humann/Deloach reef creature guide).

I hope somebody can help to identify them.

Very interesting, Gills....unfortunately, I can't help you identify them/it, tho. Nice shots. Carole

Definitely corallimorphs Gilly, could you send me a full sized shot so I could have a good look? These were all flash shots, right?

I have these in my reef tank at home. They don't require that much light and they easily reproduce. Great shots of them. We call these a type of mushroom coral.
