Pore Coral [Montipora aspergillus]
Description
Often seen as rounded plates or knobby growths, this Pore Coral has a textured surface filled with small pores. Divers may find it in areas with steady water flow, where the coral’s form and surface texture are especially clear. Its understated look blends beautifully with surrounding reef life, and it can be a rewarding subject when you slow down and examine the fine details.
