Leptastrea Corals (Small Massive Corals) [Leptastreidae]

Description

Leptastreidae are typically small, massive or encrusting stony corals that blend into the reef until you get close. Divers often spot them by their subtle textures and the way they form compact patches that shelter tiny fish and invertebrates.
