New Deepwater

Just to set the record strait, A. turaki is a shallow reef species, not a deep water species. There are very few, actually, such as A. suharsonoi, A. tenella, A. pichoni, A. walindii, etc. with reef slope species, such as A. granulosa, A. spicifera and other table corals making the next group up. The tables, such as A. paniculata, A. jaquelinae and A. carolinae are found in shallow waters, less than 10M/30'. It is a common error to refer to them as deep water species, which, IMO is simply a marketing ploy!

OK, if you have to hold your breath to get them, then 10 meters is pretty deep!

OK, I'll shut-up, now! Look, a turtle....
