Oculina profunda [Oculina profunda]
Description
Oculina profunda is associated with deeper, cooler-water environments where light is limited and conditions are more stable. Divers who reach its depth range may see pale, branching coral that resembles a quiet, slow-growing reef garden. The structure it provides can be a key refuge for small invertebrates and fish that navigate the deeper habitat.
