Sandalolitha dentata [Sandalolitha dentata]
Description
This coral is often recognized by its sturdy, tooth-like or dented surface features that give it a rugged, armored appearance. Divers may find it on rocky reef slopes, where it blends into the substrate while still standing out due to its distinctive texture. With good visibility, you can appreciate how the ridges and “teeth” create a complex microhabitat for small reef organisms.
