Hump Coral [Porites myrmidonensis]
Description
Divers often spot this hump coral as rounded, knobby mounds that rise from the seafloor like small, weathered hills. Its sturdy, bumpy surface can host tiny reef dwellers, and in good light you may notice subtle color variations across the coral’s ridges.
