Favites paraflexuosus [Favites paraflexuosus]
Description
Divers may encounter this coral as a robust, mound-forming colony with a dense, textured surface. The closely packed corallites create a detailed pattern that’s especially noticeable when you hover and let the light catch the surface, and the structure provides cover for tiny reef life.
