Net Coral [Alveopora catalai]
Description
Divers often spot this net-forming coral as a delicate, lace-like structure with a maze of small openings. It typically grows in low, branching or plate-like patches, creating a textured “net” effect that stands out against sand or rock. In clear water, its pale tones and fine surface detail can be especially striking.
