Flabellum (Flabellum) gardineri [Flabellum (Flabellum) gardineri]
Description
This species typically appears as a small, plate-to-fan shaped coral, with fine grooves that give it a distinctive texture. When water moves, the polyps’ feeding structures can extend slightly, making it look more “alive” than its still, compact form suggests.
