Belize Brain Corals (Diploria sp. and Colpophyllia sp.) taken circa January 2006.
The Life Photo Meme theme this week is Smart.
This is a photo of some brain coral that I took on a dive in Belize, circa January 2006. There are two genra here. In the front is a groove-brained coral (Diploria sp.) and in the back is a boulder brain coral (Colpophyllia sp.). I never could get these two straight during my QUantitative Ecological Survey Techniques course.
They may not be especially intelligent, but I think they look pretty sharp.
They DO look pretty sharp!
