Meandrina jacksoni [Meandrina jacksoni]
Description
Divers may recognize this species by its thick, meandering ridges that form a brain-like network of grooves. Depending on the lighting and water clarity, the coral can appear in muted browns, tans, or grays, with the raised crests catching the light. It’s a satisfying find for macro-focused divers who enjoy studying reef textures up close.
