Serpent Coral [Pachyseris involuta]
Description
In the water, Pachyseris involuta often appears as a tightly arranged, curling coral with ridges that fold and overlap. Divers may notice how the coral’s contours create small shaded areas, which can attract curious micro-creatures and add depth to the reef scene.
