Cycloseris distorta [Cycloseris distorta]
Description
This coral stands out for its irregular, slightly distorted disk shape, giving it a more sculpted look than many other Cycloseris species. Divers may notice the surface patterning and gentle color variation—often in muted browns, tans, or greens—depending on light and local conditions. It’s a great find for macro-focused divers who enjoy studying fine coral textures.
