Gorgonian Fan Coral with Crinoids

This shot from Waterpipe Beach in the Havannah Harbour Area of Vanuatu. These fans are spectacular to see especially when formed in groups. The fans host a myriad of other life and in this case with a small group of Crinoids. Strobe lighting is needed to bring out their natural colours as the reds get lost as we descend
