Net Coral [Alveopora marionensis]
Description
Marionensis net coral forms a distinctive, net-like framework that can look like a delicate lattice on rock or reef substrate. Divers may find it in sheltered reef areas where currents bring food particles, helping the coral maintain its living surface. Its intricate pattern makes it a rewarding subject for slow, careful observation during a dive.
