Bush Coral [Seriatopora octoptera]
Description
This species typically forms branching colonies with multiple slender arms that can resemble a delicate fan or octopus-like silhouette. Divers often see it as a graceful, lacey structure that contrasts with flatter corals and rocky substrates. When polyps are active, the colony can look slightly more “alive” and detailed, especially in calm, well-lit conditions.
