Lobophyllia recta [Lobophyllia recta]
Description
Lobophyllia recta is known for more upright, structured lobes that give it a cleaner, more “architectural” look than some other lobed corals. Underwater, divers see distinct ridges and channels that cast small shadows, emphasizing its shape. Its sturdy growth helps it hold position on the reef, making it a reliable sight for photographers and casual divers alike.
