    Didn't realize 15 had been missed. That's a birdsnest (the blunt tip species; I always have to look up which is which).

    By virtue of your clue, that makes 17 very familiar, but I can't quite remember the word. Something along the lines of frontifer, or fontifer, but I know that's not quite right...

    Birdnest is correct, I believe it is Seriatopora guttatus.

    Thanks, LOL Cheryl you got them the right word. 15 is a birdsnest and yes macro photography is addictive.
