  Soft Coral, Jackson Reef, Straits of Tiran.

  The animals are the dark red polyps, and they build the arboreal structure, secreting the crescent-shaped calcium spicules to give strength. The purpose of the structure is to put more surface area into the current, so that more food can be captured by the polyps.
