Flat Coral
Flat coral is the "invisible cornerstone" of coral reefs-its dense skeleton, symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, and support for biodiversity make it a core species for maintaining reef health.

Protecting foliated Montipora is essentially protecting the health of the entire coral reef ecosystem.
