Astreopora montiporina [Astreopora montiporina]
Description
This coral typically grows in low, plate-like or mound forms, creating a textured patch on the reef. Divers may see it as a subtle but attractive feature—its surface can appear finely patterned, especially when light catches the ridges. It’s a great “look closer” coral, rewarding careful observation.
