I will be honest here, I hardly know much about sea coral but one thing, I can say that coral to me is exceptionally beautiful in colors and shapes, I have always dreamt about diving in that colorful underwater world but, I have only got as far as a bit of snorkeling when, I see these documentaries on TV of people diving and seeing this magical sea underwater world, I think to myself, I wish it was me diving with that oxygen tank on my back.

I think it's hard for anyone to imagine how beautiful this form of nature is, which is formed over millions of years, I believe that the Amazon fresh water river were it meets the ocean making, it a mix of fresh water and salt water, has the most outrages out of this world colorful and blizzarded coral formation that scientist still haven't given names to these corals.

Coral reefs are mainly formed by from volcanic irruption's and over the millions of years when that hot larva ends up in the ocean beds fixing itself to hard rocks as it cools forms into all these beautifully shaped coral and the Great Barrier Reef, that we have here in Australia is the perfect example of that which, I am yet to visit one day.

The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is home to millions of species of marine plants and animals and the reefs and corals are millions of years old, it would truly be a spectacular sight to see.

I would love to bring you the Great Barrier Reef Corals but all, I have here is Alien Corals from the island of Koh Samui in Thailand from a few beaches around Koh Samui when, I visited the island a while back but still these are some amazing looking corals definitely, different to what we have back home, I suppose coral would be in different forms of colors and shapes depending on climates of the seas and these corals are something, I haven't seen before it was a joy to see these as low tide around the beaches allowed me to through the clear blue waters.
