Pore Coral [Montipora caliculata]
Description
This species often appears as small, rounded or lumpy growths with a distinctive, textured surface. Underwater, divers may see it as a compact “pore coral” look—tiny openings and ridges that create a fascinating pattern when light filters through the water.
