From a dive on Magic passage. One of several passages leading into the Madang lagoon from open sea. One of my favorite dives when the vis is good, unfortunately it was less than perfect this day, despite what the tide chart said!! Had the close up lens on this day, so lots of nice soft coral shots.

Scleronephthya, what a mouthful!

Couldn't find this one in the book.

This is Anthelia, pretty name, pretty coral.

Divaricate Tree Coral, who thinks up these names?!

Fromia nodusa, quite a few of these in Madang.

One of my favorites, Christmas tree worms.

Spirastrella vagabunda, nuther one of those tounge twisters!
