Nice exposure of the interior of these pencil coral colonies. ID uncertain, Very common towards leading edge of spurs on Fringing Reefs of west coast of Barbados. Lewis (1960) cited Madracis asperula as the dominant finger coral in this zone, Requires more study, closeup photos etc. Posted on iNaturalist
