Original - The Boulder Brain Coral (Colpophyllia natans) is a species of coral distributed in the Gulf of Mexico and entire Caribbean region, including coastal regions of the South American mainland, where it occurs down to depths of 50 metres.
Reason
Another one that needs little introduction: a Commons FP already, I finally clobbered together an article for it, so it's fair game now. Note that the framing has already been discussed at Commons.

  • I've done a google image search for Colpophyllia natans and while yes, there is a lot of variation in the colour of individual colonies, there are several images showing a similar neon green in the valleys (about five so far, after a quick count). Not sure how you've been performing your search? Maedin\talk 00:09, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
