Australogyra zelli [Australogyra zelli]
Description
Australogyra zelli is a brain coral relative that grows in rounded, folded patterns, often resembling a compact landscape of ridges and shallow channels. Divers can spot it by its sculpted surface, where light and shadow emphasize the contours. With careful observation, you may notice subtle changes in how the polyps present themselves, adding a gentle “breathing” life to the reef.
