Sea fan, X-ray
Sea fan coral. Coloured X-ray of a sea fan, or gorgonian. Sea fans are coral-like organisms that live in a large colony. Each organism, or polyp, secretes a hard mineral around itself for protection and support. The secretions of the entire colony form the rocky skeleton seen here. Sea fan polyps feed by sifting minute plankton particles from the water. Sea fans are flat, and are orientated to present the maximum surface area to the prevailing current.

This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Sea fan coral, captured through an X-ray lens. The vibrant colors and delicate details are brought to life, revealing the fascinating world of this marine organism. Sea fans are colonial creatures that form large colonies by secreting a hard mineral around themselves for protection and support. The rocky skeleton seen in this image is the result of the collective secretions from each polyp within the colony. These sea fan polyps have a unique feeding mechanism, sifting minute plankton particles from the surrounding water to sustain themselves. Their flat shape and orientation allow them to maximize their surface area exposure to take advantage of prevailing currents. This photograph not only highlights the natural wonder found beneath our oceans but also serves as a reminder of the diversity and complexity present in our planet's ecosystems.
