Dendrophyllia boschmai [Dendrophyllia boschmai]
Description
Boschmai’s tree coral grows into branching forms that can resemble a small forest canopy on the seabed. Divers may notice it because the branches create a striking silhouette and a network of sheltered spaces. With good visibility, the coral’s surface texture and the life it supports—tiny invertebrates and occasional small fish—make it a standout reef find.
