Description
[National Geographic] Knob Coral (혹산호)

Red Sea
1997
David Doubilet

“Illuminated by ultraviolet light, a knob coral pulsates with color as if lit from within. The coral absorbs the invisible ultraviolet light, then emits wild orange visible light. This is called fluorescence, a phenomenon of physics and biology that borders on pure magic.”

???From “A New Light in the Sea,” August 1997, National Geographic magazine
