Pore Coral [Montipora cebuensis]
Description
Divers often spot Montipora cebuensis as a low, plate-like or encrusting coral with a distinctive “pore” look on its surface. Up close, the tiny openings and textured growth create a living mosaic that catches light and makes the reef feel especially detailed.
