Spiral corals, often referred to as spiral or helicoid corals, exhibit a distinctive spiral shape characterized by tightly coiled, cylindrical structures. Their skeletons can appear as intricate, winding patterns, typically showcasing a range of colors, including shades of white, brown, and green. These corals often have small polyps that extend from the spiral formations, contributing to their unique aesthetic and the overall health of the coral reef ecosystem. The spiral shape aids in maximizing surface area for feeding and gaining sunlight.
