Calveri Caryophyllia [Caryophyllia (Caryophyllia) calveri]
Description
This coral is typically seen as a small, well-defined colony with tightly packed polyps on rock or reef structures. Divers often notice it by the contrast between the coral’s textured surface and the surrounding substrate, especially when polyps are more visible in the available light.
