Duncanopsammia peltata [Duncanopsammia peltata]
Description
Duncanopsammia peltata is often seen as a compact, plate-like or disc-forming coral that can spread over suitable hard surfaces. Divers may observe small openings where polyps reside, and the overall texture can look like a mosaic of closely set bumps. It’s a subtle but rewarding find for divers who enjoy close-up reef details.
