Dendrophyllia radians [Dendrophyllia radians]
Description
This species typically grows in branching patterns that create a delicate, radiating look—like coral fingers reaching outward. Underwater, divers may see the polyps as tiny points or bumps along the branches, adding a speckled, almost velvety texture to the colony.
