Anacropora tapera [Anacropora tapera]
Description
Anacropora tapera typically grows as compact, branching or knobby structures that create small pockets of shade and shelter. Divers may see it hosting tiny reef life—like small crustaceans and algae—while the coral’s textured surface catches light and highlights its growth form.
