Meandrina brasiliensis [Meandrina brasiliensis]
Description
Meandrina brasiliensis is known for its maze-like, meandering ridges that create a honeycomb of channels across the colony. Divers often enjoy the way the pattern stands out in different lighting angles, and the coral’s surface texture can look almost carved, especially when polyps are slightly extended.
