Plesiastrea peroni [Plesiastrea peroni]
Description
Divers may spot Plesiastrea peroni as a compact, stony coral that forms small, textured patches on the reef. Up close, its surface can look like a mosaic of tiny corallites, giving it a subtle, “grainy” pattern compared with smoother corals. In clear water, it often stands out as a quiet, reef-building presence rather than a flashy showpiece.
