Favites spinosa [Favites spinosa]
Description
Favites spinosa is known for a more textured, “spiny” look compared with some other Favites species, giving colonies a rugged, sculpted appearance. Divers may notice how the raised surface details catch light and create a dramatic, high-contrast pattern, especially in clear water with strong sun.
