Zoanthids
As the tide recedes far beyond its average limit on a few days every year, a wonderland is revealed on Mumbai’s shores. These forbidden kingdoms are carpeted with soft hexacorals of a bright green and blue kind, called Zoanthus sansibaricus. These mats are not just awesome to look at, but serve as habitats in themselves, housing a variety of creatures that roam among the polyps.
