Pore Coral [Montipora confusa]
Description
This species is a favorite for divers who enjoy reef “micro-landscapes,” because Montipora confusa often shows a maze of small pores and ridges. In clear water, its compact, textured surfaces stand out against sandy patches or surrounding branching corals.
