Abstract

An underwater photograph of a coral reef near a location known as "Cochinos Station 3" near the west side of Cochino Pequeño in the Cayos Cochinos archipelago, off the northern coast of Honduras. Amphiroa tribulus, a species of coralline (Order Corallinales) red algae can be seen in the photograph. Several species of coral are also seen in the photograph, possibly including boulder star coral, also called lobed star coral, (Orbicella annularis, formerly known as Montastrea annularis) and lettuce coral, also called tan lettuce-leaf coral, (Agaricia agaricites).
