Tubastraea megalostoma [Tubastraea megalostoma]
Description
Divers may find this coral as a colony with conspicuously large openings on the surface, creating a distinctive “pitted” or honeycomb-like appearance. It often grows on rocks and artificial structures, where it can form dense, colorful patches. Up close, the contrast between the colony’s texture and its warm coloration makes it a memorable sight for macro-focused divers.
