Lobophyllia serrata [Lobophyllia serrata]
Description
Lobophyllia serrata features lobes with a more pronounced, “toothed” or serrated edge, giving it a distinctive silhouette. Divers may notice how the coral’s surface looks finely sculpted, with small grooves that add depth and movement to the colony’s appearance. It’s a great example of how reef-building corals can vary widely in shape even within the same genus.
