Thouarsii Fan Coral [Flabellum (Flabellum) thouarsii]
Description
Thouarsii Fan Coral often forms broad, shallow fans that can look like layered plates on the reef. Divers may spot it in areas with steady water flow, where its surface catches light and its fine skeletal texture becomes more apparent as you move closer.
