Flabellum (Ulocyathus) japonicum [Flabellum (Ulocyathus) japonicum]
Description
Japonicum can appear as a graceful, fan-shaped coral with a delicate, lace-like surface that stands out against the substrate. Divers may see it in sheltered areas where currents bring food particles close. When conditions are right, the polyps can extend, turning a still-looking fan into something that feels surprisingly dynamic.
