Mushroom coral (Fungia sp.) fluoresces a bright orange at depth. At this depth underwater there is no orange light left, pigments within the coral absorb blue light and emit it as orange light (the reason for this is no known). This photo was taken using only the ambient light underwater. Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Lembeh Strait, Molucca Sea.
