Pore Coral [Montipora florida]
Description
Divers often spot Montipora florida as a low, encrusting or plating coral with a distinctive “pore” look across its surface. Up close, the tiny openings and textured growth create a living mosaic that can host small reef dwellers and algae in the nooks and crannies.
