SPS in Fiji

[Tyrenlds]

Just got back from Fiji and wanted to share this video I took showcasing SPS corals in their natural habitat. Thought this might provide some aquascaping ideas. Enjoy!

Very cool thanks! I watched it a few times already!
Looks like they have a good slimmer and use GFO .

Wow that's awesome [emoji106][emoji106]. Did some of the coral look bleached out? I could be wrong though.

Zero bleaching! Was really surprised by the health of the reef. It was pretty shallow so the colors were washed out a bit by the sun.

Nice thanks for that. I'm still new to reefing so I wasn't sure about the corals that were white. [emoji3] One day I wanna do that lol.

We dove Somosomo Strait a couple years ago and coral is amazing. I think the video looks a little bleached due to the blue effect in the water. But in person the colors are out of this world!

Ahh never thought about that. I guess it would be similar to taking a pick on your phone. In person's gotta be insane though. Only give I've ever done was in Bermuda and we did a little snuba dive. They have the air tank floating on top of the water and you have a 20ft airline to you and like one other person.

This was in Somosomo Strait! Agreed, the colors were much more vivid in real life.

Yep! Looked that way IRL too. Think ATI nailed that spectrum.

I love seeing these videos. The colonies are so dense and healthy. I've never dove quite that deep but every time I've snorkeled on a cloudy day it looks just like that.

Very nice!!!

Great dive. At what depth were those colonies? It looks something like 10 meters.

Most of the dive was between 5-10 meters. Pretty shallow.

Yes, pretty shallow. Eyes on the buoyancy avoiding coral crushing!
