Millepora boschmai [Millepora boschmai]
Description
Millepora boschmai is a fire coral that can form low, encrusting patches or more structured growth depending on local conditions. Divers may notice it as a reef-building-looking surface with a distinct, coral-like texture, often in muted browns, tans, or pale hues. Like other fire corals, it can sting—so even a brief brush against the colony is something to avoid.
