Lace Lettuce Coral [Leptoseris cailleti]
Description
Lace Lettuce Coral gets its name from the intricate, lacy patterning on its thin, leaf-like plates. Divers may see it as a delicate mosaic of ridges and valleys, often in calmer, clearer reef zones. Its delicate structure makes it especially photogenic when light filters across the colony.
