Flabellum (Ulocyathus) hoffmeisteri [Flabellum (Ulocyathus) hoffmeisteri]
Description
Hoffmeisteri is usually encountered as a compact, fan-like coral that blends into rocky or sandy bottoms where it can quietly feed. Divers often notice its subtle, branching ridges and the gentle way it responds to water movement. With patience, you may catch polyps slightly protruding, giving the coral a more animated look.
