    Fire coral?

    I looks like Corallimorpharia injury to me, a animal closely related to the sea anemones. Seems likely that during a night dive you might have knelt on the bottol or grazed the animal without knowing it. They usually have short tentacles and some types of them can cause injuries that...

    Bali Nitrox

    The Gilis (Trewangan) end October
