Jones' Montipora [Montipora jonesi]
Description
Montipora jonesi typically forms compact, encrusting or low-growing structures that can resemble a mosaic of small bumps. Divers may see it as a subtle but attractive texture on reef slopes, often blending with surrounding corals while still adding a distinct “grainy” look. With good visibility, its color and surface pattern can be striking in the sunlight.
