as far as i can make out the very first thing in front is a sea fan and the green swaying is i think just sea grass or weeds(plants) not coral.

I believe there are a couple bamboo corals in that video aswell.

that stingray seems very chill lol

After a few times watching that video I was afraid it might be some sort of sea plant was hoping it to be coral as it has a nice sway effect with the sea wave.

So any idea on the sort of plant it could be?

Yeah them stingrays are cool and love the environment they are living in with many platform islands.

I can't tell if it definitely is them but just checked them out on youtube and they seem to give a nice sway effect. Thanks

You're welcome. We saw a lot of them snorkeling in Mexico. Definitely lots of movement, but the ocean is stronger than our tanks LOL.
