The image displays a single, bleached coral fragment situated on a sandy beach in Tambon Ko Tao, Thailand. The central object is an irregularly shaped, light-colored coral, exhibiting a distinct fluted or pleated surface texture with radial ridges. Portions of the coral show areas of light brown discoloration. It rests directly on a substrate composed of coarse, granular sand intermixed with various sizes of white and beige coral detritus, small pebbles, and shell fragments. A dark, organic-looking piece is visible in the lower right background. There are no individuals, active subjects, or discernible interactions present in the scene.
