Pectinia laxa [Pectinia laxa]
Description
Laxa tends to form looser, more open growth patterns, so divers may notice a lighter, airy look compared with denser corals. Its surface can show small, regularly spaced features where polyps live, and it may appear more dynamic when polyps are extended. You’ll often find it tucked into reef crevices or on gently sloping substrates.
