Pore Coral [Montipora incrassata]
Description
Montipora incrassata is commonly seen as thicker, more robust-looking growths that can form plates or knobby mounds. Divers are drawn to its dense, porous surface, which gives it a rugged, architectural feel on the reef, and it often contrasts nicely with surrounding sand channels or coral rubble.
