Fimbriate organ pipe coral [Tubipora fimbriata]
Description
This organ pipe coral stands out with its dense, upright tubes and a feathery look along the edges. Underwater, it can appear like a cluster of tiny chimneys, often partially shaded by surrounding reef growth. Divers may spot small polyps extending from the tube openings, especially when conditions are calm.
