Inktober day 19 - Coral Goddess

Inspired from Hindu/ Tao deity with multiple arms. This goddess keeps the balance of life on the reef.

Some of the corals featured here are: acropora; montipora; euphyllia; plerogyra; clavularia; and sea fan (not really a coral) Would’ve added fish, but I was so rushed

Colored with copic marker.

I finally made it :)

Besonders fasziniert haben mich die größeren Weichkorallen, im besonderen die Blasenkorallen/ Rounded bubblegum coral https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasenkorallen

Also, wenn ich von Material und Form nochmal "tiefer" hinabsteigen würde, dann um mich von diesen unfassbaren Wessen inspirieren zu lassen. Grüße vom Tropischen Korallenriff @Burgers' Zoo, Arnhem https://www.burgerszoo.de/ecodisplays/ocean plus https://www.burgerszoo.de/nieuws/2023/05/naturschutz-fachwissen-fur-die-zucht-und-den-schutz-von-korallen

"Burgers’ Ocean ist ein tropisches Korallenriff in einem acht Millionen Liter Wasser fassenden Aquarium. Wichtigster Bestandteil des Aquariums ist das lebende Korallenriff in einem 750.000-Liter-Becken. Es ist das größte lebende Korallenriff in Europa. Das Ökosystem eines tropischen Korallenriffs wird in Burgers’ Ocean möglichst genau nachempfunden, und das ist keine leichte Aufgabe: Schließlich stellen Korallen höchste Ansprüche an die Wasserqualität, die Strömungsintensität, den Lichteinfall und die richtige Nahrung."

I think this is Plerogyra sinuosa (bubble coral). I love it!

Common names: #Bubblecoral Difficulty Level: Bubble #Coral is generally tolerant, but must have stable alkalinity to survive. Feeding: Bubble coral can extend large aggressive feeding tentacles which may be fed through broadcast or direct suspension matter feeding. They will also readily accept pellets and other large meat based foods if placed on extended bubbles or tentacles. Lighting (Level 6 to 8): Most prefer moderate lighting, but will adapt to varying conditions. As with all #hardcoral, take care to move them slowly into increased lighting conditions. Water flow: Lower to moderate flow is best to keep from damaging this corals large fleshy polyps. Placement: Bubbles coral is very aggressive and should be placed where it can not sting other corals. Be sure to leave space for the polyps to expand without being brushed against rocks. General: The big inflatable bubbles seen during the day turn in to long feeder tentacles at night. It’s thought that the bubbles expand to best capture light during the day, but are then adapted to best capture food at night. Feeding after lights off may help get this coral eating well https://captivecoral.net/portfolio/bubble-coral/ #plerogyra #elitereef #LPSreef #LPSheaven #LPScoral #reeftanks #coralporn #reefscape #nanoaquarium #nanoreef (at Elite Reef) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqvUehFhrN4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iwzx7ly0xrfc
