Oulophyllia wellsi [Oulophyllia wellsi]
Description
This species is usually seen as a low, sturdy coral with a textured surface that catches light as you move. Divers may observe its growth forming small contours and channels where small organisms can settle. Because it blends into reef habitats, it’s often best spotted when you slow down and look closely at the details.
