Ivory Coral [Oculina valenciennesi]
Description
Oculina valenciennesi typically forms rounded, branching growths that look like clusters of pale ivory fingers. Divers may notice it hosting small reef life around its structure, while the coral’s subtle texture and light color make it stand out in clear water.
