False Flower Coral [Anacropora pillai]
Description
Anacropora pillai can look like a cluster of tiny, branching blooms, giving it a soft, ornamental appearance underwater. Divers may spot it in reef crevices or on sloping substrates where it catches light and creates a delicate contrast with surrounding corals. With patience, you can often see how the colony’s structure changes the way currents flow around it.
