Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef

I saw this on Flickr and thought it was cool. It's a Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef that looks very lifelike. The word "hyperbolic" comes from a geometric term for circular functions, and you can see how that would apply for crocheting.

Hyperbolic crochet is a favorite among both environmentalists and mathematicians.
