Anemone Coral [Goniopora columna]
Description
Divers often notice Goniopora columna by its soft, feathery look—clusters of delicate coral polyps that can sway gently with the current. Up close, the polyps give the colony a “brush-like” texture, and the color can range from pale to vivid tones depending on light and local conditions.
