Hello,
What do you see here?
Do you see a pair of eyes, nose and a smiling mouth?
I ‘m hoping you see this dimension of life the way I see.
I would like to hear your comment on what you see in this presentation, besides seeing a piece of coral reef.
Khorfakkan is located on the eastern coast of the UAE, and is part of the emirate of Sharjah. The Beach of Khorfakkanis famous for its coral reefs and abundance of marine life.

This one is from my collection during the UAE visit of 2005
______________________________________________________
Corals are small, sedentary marine animals that occur in dense colonies in warm shallow waters of oceans.Coral reefs are formed by the skeleton remains of many generations of stony corals. Massive reef structures are built over thousands of years by tiny coral polyps aided by minute algae (zooxanthellae) that live in their tissues, calcifying algae, and other organisms that secrete calcium carbonate and adhesives. Reef- building corals are generally found at depths of less than 46 m, where there is sunlight and clear water through which the sunlight penetrates better. Reef-building corals, along with the algae, require warm ocean temperatures (20–28° C) and are therefore found along the eastern shores of major land masses where the water is warmer. These reefs are amongst the earth’s oldest living communities of plants and animals. They vary in shape, size and colour.

Iris,
I first thought that this was the head of a strange snake from the Middle East, an albino snake.
Then I thought it was a piece of melting ice.
Wrong on both counts.
A coral. !!! WONDERFUL.
Very original.
Best regards, Mario.
