Like all corals, spiral whips (Cirrhipathes sp.) are a colony of individual coral polyps, but in this case they build a unique coiled form. The gap noticeable in the polyps is where a coral goby has made a clearing to lay its eggs, also revealing the coral’s black skeleton. Misool, Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia.
