Favites favosa [Favites favosa]
Description
Favites favosa is known for its honeycomb-like pattern, where the coral’s surface shows a maze of small, repeating structures. Divers often find it visually striking because the pattern creates a crisp texture that contrasts with smoother surrounding corals. Depending on the site, it may host small crustaceans and reef fish that take advantage of the complex surface.
