Hydnophora

EncrustingBranching

Encrusting or branching, with the whole surface covered in small cone-shaped mounds (hydnophores) instead of open corallite cups.

  • Usually a single color across the colony, very often neon green
  • Surface texture of small pointed bumps, not cups or ridges
  • Sends out long sweeper tentacles at night — the aggression is part of the ID
