Leptoseris glabra [Leptoseris glabra]
Description
Leptoseris glabra is often recognized by its smoother, less textured encrusting surface compared with some relatives. Divers may notice gentle contours and a clean, polished look that stands out against rougher reef rock. When light filters down, the colony can show faint highlights that make it easier to spot during a careful reef scan.
