Isopora [Isopora]

Description

Isopora comprises a group of corals that are closely related to the Acropora genus but differ in their more robust, club-shaped branch tips and thicker skeletal structures. This genus includes species that are important in the formation of reef structures and are characterized by their ability to withstand rougher conditions than many other acroporid corals. Isopora corals are an essential part of the reef ecosystem, providing habitat and contributing to the reef's structural complexity.
