Porites brighami [Porites brighami]
Description
Porites brighami is a reef-building coral that divers may encounter as compact, rounded to lumpy colonies with a thick, durable look. Its textured surface often supports small reef organisms, and in good light the colony can show delicate color tones that make it stand out against surrounding sand or rubble.
