Stylocoeniella

Encrusting

A low encrusting SPS whose very small polyps give the colony a fuzzy, fur-like look when open.

  • Often one saturated color — green, orange, red — over a darker base
  • Encrusting sheet that hugs the rock
  • Regularly confused with Cyphastrea; the corallites here are much smaller and barely raised
