Rumphella torta [Rumphella torta]
Description
Divers may encounter Rumphella torta as a more irregular, twisted-looking colony, with branches that don’t always grow in neat, symmetrical patterns. Its shape can make it stand out against flat rock, and when currents increase, the colony’s posture and fine structure become especially noticeable.
