Brain Corals are already one of my favorite subjects to explore and photograph.  They’re large, detailed, and provide a visual indicator of reef health.  This dive, under the dark cloak of night, they were lighting up with vibrant purples, reds, and maroons – patterns quickly transcended natural and became psychedelic.
