•  Info Coral (Danafungia scruposa), Red Sea, Egypt. They are around 25 centimetres (9.8 in) in diameter and normally eat a variety of food from bacteria to mesozooplankton measuring 1 mm in diameter, although researchers observed the coral consuming the jellyfish Aurelia aurita. This was the first time such behaviour has been seen in the wild and it's not known how the coral captures jellyfish. Its polyps have diameters of up to 24 centimetres (9.4 in) and are oval or circular. D. scruposa is found in the eastern and western Indian Ocean, the eastern central, northwestern and western central Pacific Ocean, Japan, the East China Sea, the Red Sea, and eastern Australia. It's found at depths between 1 and 27 metres (3 ft 3 in and 88 ft 7 in) on the slopes of reefs. Note: we have no FPs of the whole family Fungiidae. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 17:25, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment I see purple CA as halos on top of the right and left side of the coral. I'm not promising a vote if it's corrected, but it should be corrected if I'm not mistaken in what I'm seeing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:54, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

• Ikan Kekek:  Done, thank you for the hint Poco a poco (talk) 10:01, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Thanks. I think it's unfortunate that you couldn't get more of the coral in your depth of field, but enough of it is quite sharp and detailed at life size to deserve a feature, I think. If the nomination doesn't succeed, it would certainly be likely to be a fine VI. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:26, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Support FP-worthy to me, even if the depth of field is limited. The photo is educative and the subject well-illuminated. -- Radomianin (talk) 10:18, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
