Berteriana Caryophyllia [Caryophyllia (Caryophyllia) berteriana]
Description
Divers may encounter this coral as a compact, lumpy colony that clings to hard substrate. Its closely spaced polyps create a detailed surface pattern, and in calmer conditions it can look like a miniature reef feature—small, but full of life.
