Flabellum (Ulocyathus) foreti [Flabellum (Ulocyathus) foreti]
Description
This species typically presents as a low, fan-shaped coral with fine, radiating structure that catches the light in a soft, shimmering way. In clear water, divers can often see the coral’s delicate texture and the way it holds its form against currents. Expect it to look most “alive” when its polyps are extended.
