Echinophyllia glabra [Echinophyllia glabra]
Description
Glabra is known for a smoother-looking surface compared with some close relatives, though it still shows the characteristic coral texture up close. Divers often appreciate how it sits firmly on the reef, forming neat, rounded growth that can be surprisingly eye-catching in clear water.
