Dendrophyllia laboreli [Dendrophyllia laboreli]
Description
Divers often spot this small, branching or bushy stony coral growing from rocky substrates, where it forms textured clusters that catch the light. Its polyps can look like tiny bumps or openings along the branches, giving the colony a lively, “fuzzy” appearance even in calmer water.
