Ctenactis crassa [Ctenactis crassa]
Description
Ctenactis crassa typically grows as a compact mound with fleshy, tentacle-bearing polyps that can look thick and robust. When it’s active, the tentacles extend outward, making the coral appear fuller and more eye-catching against the seafloor. Divers often enjoy watching how it responds to water flow—subtle changes can alter how open and prominent the polyps look.
