Robust Ivory Tree Coral [Oculina robusta]
Description
This coral tends to grow sturdier, with thicker branches that give it a more “tree-like” presence. Underwater, divers may see it standing out as a solid, sculptural structure that adds vertical relief to the reef. The branching framework is a favorite spot for small reef creatures seeking cover and food.
