•  Info Yellow scroll coral (Turbinaria reniformis), Ras Muhammad National Park, Egypt. This species of colonial stony coral is native to the Indo-Pacific region (including the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Indian Ocean and the central Indo-Pacific). This coral, rated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being "vulnerable", has the corallites (skeletal cups in which the polyps sit of 1.5 to 2 mm (0.06 to 0.08 in) in diameter) widely separated and are only on the upper side of the plates. T. reniformis is gonochoristic, with colonies being either male or female. Breeding takes place synchronously with all the colonies in an area liberating their gametes into the sea about a week after the full moon in November. Note: we have no FPs of this species, genus, family, order and class. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 07:16, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose it's a good QI, and maybe the specie is remarkable in some way (in which case it would be a better fit for VI), but I'm unconvinced it stands out photographywise. - Benh (talk) 10:29, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

• Funny, to me one of the nicest shots I've ever taken underwater. Apart from your oppose it's a bit surprising to me that the moray image (4th moray shot I nominate to FPC) got much more support than this shot. This look reminds me to a rose in a garden. I can also say, that this species is not often and I also believe that the quality is pretty good for underwater. --Poco a poco (talk) 14:42, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

  • I don't remember having seen lots of morays, so I'm fine with it. To me the subject is centered in quite a bland way, and lit in a flat way. I was quite surprised to see that this coral can actually be much more "3D" than hinted here. Maybe a lower vantage point of view would have given it more justice? And I trust you the quality is good for underwater. Hence my QI suggestion ;) Anyhow, just one opinion amongst others. - Benh (talk) 16:54, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

• Benh: I have other variants in my portfolio :) Here and here you get more 3D feeling but you'll agree with me that the shape of this coral is more pleasent. --Poco a poco (talk) 18:33, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

  • overall, but just not enough for FP for me. - Benh (talk) 07:03, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment there's a weird blue triangle in the top left corner you might want to get rid of somehow. --El Grafo (talk) 09:10, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
