Cycloseris costulata [Cycloseris costulata]
Description
This species is recognizable by its circular, coin-like form and the ridges or “costae” that give the coral a ribbed look. Divers may see it partially embedded in reef substrate, with the top surface displaying a distinct pattern that can vary in color. It’s a calm, stationary reef resident—well worth a slow, careful look for its symmetry and texture.
