Beautiful day to float around red coral! I think it’s pretty neat that red is the first colour to disappear under water, but red coral is only found at deep depths. Red coral has been used as decoration for centuries, which makes me think of them as invisible sunken treasure. One of the things I find fascinating about marine life is its many illusions, especially disappearing (like vanishing squids in a cloud of black ink and the blue ringed octopus that suddenly appears to poison its victim).

Unfortunately, my documentation  didn’t capture the silver highlights I did for the argonaut and jellyfish, but I guess that’s another optical illusion!

These two took forever to get done the way I wanted. Lots of experimenting and ruining things at home, but I love them!
