Millepora nitida [Millepora nitida]
Description
Millepora nitida often presents as smooth, encrusting or low, branching growth with a slightly glossy look compared to some other fire corals. Divers may spot it as neat patches or low structures that blend into the reef while still catching the light. Its compact form and bright, clean texture make it a favorite for close-up viewing—just keep your hands off.
