Heliofungia actiniformis Kapal Indah, Lembeh.<br /> Before you ask, no, I have no idea if the red center is part of the coral. It could be tubes of it covered on red sponge or it could be another coral. Animals are very enmeshed in the coral reef :-) Geotagged,Heliofungia actiniformis,Indonesia,Spring Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
