Green Chromis by a coral skeleton covered in sea squirts

Pink coral skeleton occupied by a colony of sea squirts, whilst a Green Chromis flits amongst the tall encrusted battlements of the coral skeleton. Sea squirts are also known by the name Tall Urn Ascidian due to their plump, urn like shape. They vary in colour from reddish orange to white to bright green.
