Abstract

An underwater photograph of a coral reef near a location known as "Cochinos Station 7" near Chachahuate, an island in the Cayos Cochinos archipelago, off the northern coast of Honduras. Several species of coral are seen in the photograph, including corals of Genus Montastrea which may have been attacked by a territorial damselfish defending its algal lawn.
