Nice... but, coral is an animal (if it was dead and it was all white, you could claim it was just calcium deposits. But this one is obviously living)
My dear Kyricom. It looks like coral, it may even have the same color, but, believe me, it is NOT coral. It is the outer covering of some kind of tropical fruit which I've never seen before. It is slightly larger than a baseball. Perhaps the botanically inclined people here can throw some light on this?
That, BTW, is why it is "nameless"
I believe, Mr. Mod, that yee have been effectively knocked out with an excellant one-two punch by the author of this fine print !!!
Thanks Meatman. I believe Mr. Mod will make a comeback soon.
That's cool... I'll buy that
Thanks, but it is not for sale
But I've now named it "Corallissium Kyricom" Hope you approve.
awesome example of how "macro" photography can later perspective and draw an entirely new interpretation from the observer.... an unusual fruit transports the viewer to an underwater coral reef?! Stunningly indicative of how photography can be Art of the highest order! Bravo!
Thanks Daniel for your appreciative comment.
Wonderful photo, and it's called 'nameless', because you didn't give it a title.
You can still do that, go to my stuff
my entries,
pick this entry
give it a title.
Good Luck
Yes, I've left the title blank knowing it will be called "Nameless". And so in line with your ever sagacious advice, I've now named it "Corallissium Kyricom"
Love the name you have given your fruit ... I wonder if it's bitter
... just kidding Kyricom 
Thanks FallingHorse. I guess Kyricom is so overwhelmed with pride (and surprise) having a fruit named after him that he is now quite speechless
I must say that it certainly looks like coral to me too. The only fruit I think it could be is an urucu or a rambutan. It would be great if you could provide an image of the whole fruit in your SBS so that we can determine exactly which one it is.
Solkee, if you will look at the top right corner, a piece of the "tentacle" has half broken off. Corals being brittle don't get half broken off like that; it would just snap right off completely. I took the photo on a close up specifically for this contest precisely because it was unusual and so I don't have the whole fruit. But if time permits, I'll go back to the same location and see if there are still any around. If not, I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. I know it's not "rambutan"
OK, SBS uploaded. Hope it helps.
Weird looking thing, never seen one before. I have no idea what it would be called.
Thanks everyone, and of course to Mr. Kyricom without whom this image may have remained "Nameless"
Howdie stranger!
