Least Valley Coral [Leptoria irregularis]
Description
Leptoria irregularis forms low, uneven mounds with shallow valleys and channels that can look like a natural maze. Divers may see its irregular contours catching light in patches, and the sheltered spaces often host small organisms that benefit from the coral’s complex structure.
