Porcelain Coral [Leptoseris yabei]
Description
This species is often seen as a thin, spreading coral with a smooth-to-textured, porcelain-like appearance. Divers may find it on reef rock where its subtle contours and fine surface details catch the light, making it a great “look closer” coral for macro-focused dives.
