sea urchin skeleton specimen
mastoid staghorn coral
The papillomatous staghorn coral is a typical reef-building coral of the family Staghorn Corals (Acroporidae) in the order Stony Corals (Scleractinia), a new species (or revised species) officially described in 2014 by the Russian taxonomist Yuri Latypov.

This kind of starfish is called "the nightmare of coral reefs" because its large-scale outbreak can lead to the death of large-scale bleaching coral reefs, is a key regulator of tropical coral reef ecosystems
Flat Coral
Flat coral is the "invisible cornerstone" of coral reefs-its dense skeleton, symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, and support for biodiversity make it a core species for maintaining reef health. In the face of climate change and man-made air disturbance, protecting this "flat engineer" is essentially injecting resilience into the entire coral reef ecosystem. Every gentle guardian of a coral reef is an investment in the future of the ocean.
leafy Monterey coral
The leafy Monterey Coral is the elegant "leafy builder" of tropical coral reefs-its flaky skeletons, tiny coral polyps and zooxanthellae symbionts that together form the core framework of the coral reef ecosystem. However, climate change and man-made air disturbances are putting these "seafloor leaves" at risk of disappearing. Protecting foliated Montipora is essentially protecting the health of the entire coral reef ecosystem.
