Leptoseris fragilis [Leptoseris fragilis]
Description
Leptoseris fragilis typically grows as thin, delicate-looking crusts that can blend into the reef background. Divers may see a fine, lace-like surface pattern and subtle ridges that create a delicate, porcelain-like sheen. Because it can be easily damaged, it’s one of those corals you’ll want to admire from a respectful distance.
