安达曼海礁石上的皮革珊瑚，印度太平洋海地区

coral (Sarcophyton sp.), a soft coral of the family Alcyoniidae, rises from a degraded Andaman Sea reef, its folded mushroom-shaped capitulum and thick stalk intact amid surrounding substrate showing signs of biodiversity loss. Leather corals are among the more thermally tolerant soft corals on Indo-Pacific reefs, capable of surviving conditions that bleach hard corals, though prolonged thermal stress remains a threat. Species unconfirmed at species level. 4K, vertical, medium, scuba diver POV. Ko Haa, Andaman Sea, Krabi Province, Thailand.
