Echinophyllia bulbosa [Echinophyllia bulbosa]
Description
This coral is recognizable by its thick, rounded growth form—often looking like a series of swollen mounds or lobes. Divers may notice the surface texture and, when polyps are extended, a more detailed pattern that adds depth and character to the reef.
