Madracis carmabi [Madracis carmabi]
Description
Madracis carmabi is a stony coral that divers may recognize by its branching growth and reef-hugging structure. Up close, the coral’s many small branches and closely spaced surfaces create a detailed pattern that changes with the angle of light. It’s the kind of coral that rewards careful observation—small fish and invertebrates often use the structure for cover.
