Hump Coral [Porites negrosensis]
Description
Negros hump coral typically appears as low, rounded mounds with a dense, bumpy growth pattern. Divers may find it in reef areas where it helps add structure to the habitat, and the coral’s texture often attracts small reef organisms that cling close to its surface.
