Lobophyllia rowleyensis [Lobophyllia rowleyensis]
Description
Divers often encounter this coral as a compact, lobed colony with a dense, textured surface. The lobes can appear rounded and tightly packed, creating a smooth-but-detailed pattern that stands out against surrounding sand or rock. With good visibility, the coral’s color and the contrast between raised lobes and recessed areas are especially striking.
