Echinophyllia pectinata [Echinophyllia pectinata]
Description
Echinophyllia pectinata typically grows in sturdy, plate-like or mound forms with a distinct, combed texture. Divers may spot the fine ridges and grooves on its surface, and—when conditions are right—small polyps can give it a slightly fuzzy or speckled look.
