I took these pictures in Cozumel, Mexico. Can anyone help me identify the coral in the pictures?

i'll take a stab at the second one and say it's an anemone.

Was suprised at how many Angelfish I saw. Also in the shallow water, small fish and invertebrates tended to dominate the rock/coral formations. Was very interesting to watch them. Damsels and wrasses seemed to use the coral as their castle.

Its just not fare:D I have got to do that someday soon.
Great Pics! Looks like you were divin' in some deep a$$ water. 50' or more? Maybe the pics just look decieving. Pretty cool how the lighting down there looks just like actinic lighting. They did a good job matching the colors with the natural reef lighting.
