New Species!

The eye sees little- dissection and microscopy tells all. The leathers are white to the eye and photosynthetic.

In the classic never say never I have plenty of variaties of milk white leathers and toadstools. Also there are many photosynthetic xenias and other soft corals that are white.

Do you have any pics ?

I have never seen a pure white photosynthetic coral.
The only one that comes close is the bubble coral, but as we know the bubble coral relies on capturing food and absorbing nutrients.

I have no way of taking shots even from the stereoscope much less the microscope.

We do not need a microscopic picture to tell if a coral is white or not.

Do you have pictures of your milk white leathers ?

AH that will be easier! I will borrow a camera.
