Coral Reefs: Sea's Magical Colors.

This underwater video clip captures a vibrant coral reef scene. At the center, a large, reddish-brown sea fan coral sways gently with the current. Surrounding it, various corals and sponges in shades of blue, orange, and white create a colorful underwater landscape. Small fish dart around the coral, adding movement to the shot. Sunlight filters through the water from above, casting beams of light that illuminate the reef and enhance the vivid colors.

Alcyonacea are an order of colonial cnidarians found in oceans worldwide, unlike hard corals, they do not produce calcium carbonate skeletons but have flexible, tree-like structures supported by small, spiny skeletal elements called sclerites. These corals are known for their vibrant colors and varied forms, ranging from upright fans to fingered stolons. They thrive in both shallow and deep waters, often found attached to rocky substrates in areas with strong currents.
