Meandrina danai [Meandrina danai]
Description
Meandrina danai is a brain coral with sweeping, winding valleys that create a distinctive, folded pattern across its surface. Divers typically see it as a compact, bumpy mass where the ridges cast small shadows, making the coral’s geometry pop in sunlight. Its overall look is both sturdy and intricate, especially when you hover and let the light shift.
