软珊瑚生态：泰国非光合作用珊瑚的喂食

ed Dendronephthya soft coral crowds a deep reef wall in the Andaman Sea, its branching polyps fully extended to filter feed as a golden damselfish (Amblyglyphidodon aureus) hovers in open water nearby. Unlike reef building hard corals, Dendronephthya is non photosynthetic and relies entirely on capturing microplankton from passing currents, a feeding strategy that concentrates it on current swept, low light sections of Indo-Pacific reef walls. 4K, wide angle, horizontal close up, scuba diver POV.
