Coral Philatelogic

Whilst perusing eBay for rare corallimorph morphs, I happened to stumble upon these radical stamps, featuring corals from around the globe. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity (perfectly good reason to justify their purchase…), so for a total of $6 (including shipping) they are now part of the Coral Morphologic collection. I say “yes” to these stamps, and encourage more developing coral reef-fringed nations to do the same (I’ll keep buying).

Discosoma (Rhodactis) sanctithomae: totally awesome Caribbean coralllimorph.

Pseudocorynactis caribbeorum: non-photosynthetic, cryptic Caribbean corallimorph.

“huh-huh-huh, huh-huh-huh, that coral is like, horny, Beavis”
Sorry, too easy, I couldn’t resist.
