Astrangia Poculata
''Astrangia poculata'', the northern star coral or northern cup coral, is a species of non-reefbuilding stony coral in the family Rhizangiidae. It is native to shallow water in the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It is also found on the western coast of Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists this coral as being of "least concern". ''Astrangia poculata'' is an emerging model organism for corals because it harbors a facultative photosymbiosis, is a calcifying coral, and has a large geographic range. Research on this emerging model system is showcased annually by the Astrangia Research Working Group, collaboratively hosted by Roger Williams University, Boston University, and Southern Connecticut State University Description ''Astrangia poculata'' grows in small clumps that are up to across. The individual polyps are large and sit in stony cups known as corallites. The polyps are translucent and the colony has a furry appearance when they ...

Astrangia Solitaria
''Astrangia solitaria'', the dwarf cup coral or southern cup coral, is a species of stony coral in the family Rhizangiidae. It is native to shallow water in the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Description A colony of ''Astrangia solitaria'' consists of a small number of cylindrical corallites (stony cups), in diameter and high, each secreted by the polyp that sits inside it. New polyps grow on short stolons and the coenosarc (soft tissue) does not cover the skeleton in a continuous sheet as it does in most coral species. The stolons may become abraded leaving the individual polyps completely or semi-separated. The corallites can have 48 septa (stony ridges) but 36 is a more usual number. The septa of adjoining corallites are connected by wide, flat, granular costae (ridges). The colour of this coral is usually pale brown, but the corallites may have brown extremities and white bases, or even be completely white. ''A. solitaria'' can be confused with the northern ...
