Net Coral [Alveopora superficialis]
Description
As its name suggests, Alveopora superficialis can appear as a relatively shallow, surface-forming coral, creating thin patches or low growths. Divers may notice its intricate, reticulated texture and muted coloration blending with the reef, while still revealing a crisp pattern when a flashlight beam sweeps over it.
