Abstract
This is a photo of a member of the species Orange Cup Coral (Balanophyllia elegans) taken underneath a dissection scope at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology—one of the University of Oregon’s satellite campuses. The specimen was collected by University of Oregon students from the intertidal zones off the coast of Charleston, Oregon to better understand and examine different types of corals as B. elegansis is different from other corals in that it grows separately from a colony.
