Balanophyllia Europaea
''Balanophyllia europaea'', called also scarlet coral or pig-tooth coral, is a small species of stony coral in the family Dendrophylliidae Dendrophylliidae is a family of stony corals. Most (but not all) members are azooxanthellate and thus have to capture food with their tentacles instead of relying on photosynthesis to produce their food. The World Register of Marine Species incl .... Description Pig-tooth corals are solitary hard corals with an oval shape. They grow to 4 to 6 cm in diameter and 2 cm in height. The body colour goes from light brown to green-brown, the polyp has almost transparent beaded tentacles which can have some red to yellow spots due to the presence of symbiotic micro-algae.

Balanophyllia Elegans
''Balanophyllia elegans'', the orange coral or orange cup coral, is a species of solitary cup coral, a stony coral in the family Dendrophylliidae. It is native to the eastern Pacific Ocean. As an azooxanthellate species, it does not contain symbiotic dinoflagellates in its tissues in the way that most corals do. Description ''B. elegans'' is a solitary species of cup coral. The polyps are mostly bright orange and about in diameter, though a yellow form also exists. The polyp is large and fleshy with tapering tentacles bearing groups of stinging cells. The polyp can almost completely retract into its stony corallite cup. This coral can be distinguished from the corallimorph ''Corynactis californica'', which it somewhat resembles, by its stony skeleton, and from ''Caryophyllia alaskensis'', another stony coral found in this habitat, by its brighter colour (''C. alaskensis'' is beige). Distribution and habitat The species is native to the western seaboard of North America, from B ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
