Corals (Mussa angulosa). Roatan, Honduras. Depth 3 meters.

This small colony of mussid corals shows several different fluorescent colors: the red originates in the symbiotic algae, while the blue and the yellow originate in the coral tissues. Note how the yellow fluorescence is restricted to the radial skeletal ridges.
