Coral Porn!!!!!!!!!!!!! (With Images)

First let me apologies for the blatant attempt to solicit patrons to this thread. Went out to Port Antonio today, on the north coast (Of Jamaica for those of you who don't know by now) Got some pics to show you guys.

I go to this island all the time to go diving and look at stuff. I just got an under water housing for my camera so I carried it... You can just see the small island thru the trees. It's directly across the road.

WELCOME TO MONKEY ISLAND!


Hatian and carpet anemone at about 1meter.


ME LOOK! HE LOOK! WE LOOK!


Lovers... The Coral Banded


Some awesome high purple stony coral. Anyone know what this is please let me know.


Green Ric's and Orange Ric's at about 10Meters


Big colony of Orange Ric's again at 10Meters

 

Even I was skeptical about the Title!!! great pics!!!

 

very nice pics you are very lucky

 

You know we LOVE pictures you dont need a catchy title =) (I did click on it the moment I saw it though.. so maybe the title did help... )

oh yea great pics by the way

 

Soft corals aren't a protected species down here either so I can scoop em!

 

ugh you are so lucky i have been looking for some orange for my tank

 

I really didn't know what else to call it..... "My day at the beach"..... "How did got urchin needles in my fingers"

 

See that first pic of the Ric's.... If you look to the left of the orange ones there are lots of greens right beside them. Right beside that there is the huge colony of oranges in the last pic. As I swam down another .5 meter there were some mixed orange and green ric's then another .5 meter and there were more green ric's.... like the orange was fading to green... lol last time I went I saw some pink and grey ones. I managed to get a single one loose. I've also seen orange outer, yellow inner.

 

wow haha i envy you i hope one day i can live on the ocean and just do diving for stuff

 

If I lived on a tropical beach, would not have to bother keeping an aqauarium.


;D
