Hump Coral [Porites arnaudi]
Description
Porites arnaudi is a classic reef builder with a rounded, mound-like form that can serve as a mini habitat for small reef life. Divers may observe its compact, bumpy surface and the way it blends into the reef while still offering a distinct “hump” silhouette.
