Ctenactis albitentaculata [Ctenactis albitentaculata]

Description

This coral is often seen as a small, low base with short, radiating tentacles that can give it a starburst or daisy-like look. Divers may notice the tentacles extending during feeding or when the coral is comfortable, creating a striking contrast against the surrounding rock. It’s a favorite for macro-focused divers because the tentacles’ shape and movement make it feel surprisingly dynamic.
