Porcelain Coral [Leptoseris amitoriensis]
Description
Porcelain Coral typically appears as smooth, plate-like or gently domed colonies with a fine, delicate surface. Under a diver’s gaze, the coral’s texture can look almost “porcelain-like,” with subtle ridges and a clean, sculpted look. It’s a favorite for close-up viewing because it often grows in sheltered reef areas.
