Pavona (coral)
''Pavona'' is a genus of colonial stony corals in the family Agariciidae. These corals are found in shallow waters in the Indo-Pacific region. Characteristics Corals in this genus have a range of different forms including those that are massive, meandering, columnar, leaf-like, and plate-like. A single species may vary in form according to the current, wave action, lighting conditions, and depth of its location. Members of the genus are distinguished from other corals by having no walls to the corallites, but having clearly delineated septocostae that connect each corallite to its neighbours, giving a flower-like pattern on the surface of the coral. The corallites themselves are shallow depressions with central columella and may be separated by ridges. The polyps, with the exception of '' Pavona explanulata'', are only extended at night. The foliose and plate-like forms tend to be two-sided. If they do not get enough nutrients or “food” from photosynthesis they switch t ...

Pavona Cactus
''Pavona cactus'', the cactus coral, potato chip coral or leaf coral, is a species of colonial stony coral in the family Agariciidae. This coral is found in shallow waters on reefs and in lagoons in tropical parts of the Indo-Pacific region. Description Colonies of this species have vertical, irregular, two-sided fronds about tall and not more than thick. The corallites housing the polyps are very shallow and form widely separated rows parallel to the margins of the fronds. The bases of these fronds may be dead while the upper parts are still alive supported by the skeletal tissue below. The fronds may be clustered together in a supercolony formed from one or more individual colonies and extending for several metres (yards) across the seabed. This is a zooxanthellate species of coral, with symbiotic microscopic algae living in its tissues. It is an olive green or a brownish colour. Distribution ''Pavona cactus'' is found in the tropical Indo-Pacific, its range extending from t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pavona Maldivensis
''Pavona maldivensis'' is a species of colonial stony coral in the family Agariciidae. It is found on shallow reef slopes, particularly those with strong wave action, and on vertical surfaces, in tropical parts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Description ''Pavona maldivensis'' can be encrusting or massive, or a mixture of the two, and can form clumps over a metre in diameter, although colonies smaller than across are more usual. In areas with strong water movement they tend to form cylindrical, finger-like growths while elsewhere they may form horizontal plates, often with "leafy" edges. The corallites (stony cups in which the polyps sit) are circular and of irregular sizes, and have individual but indistinct stony walls. This coral is usually some shade of greyish-brown or green but can be bright orange. Distribution and habitat Though named "of the Maldives" (''maldivensis''), ''P. maldivensis'' has a wide distribution in tropical and subtropical waters. Its range extends ...

Pavona Duerdeni
''Pavona duerdeni'', the porkchop coral, is a coral that forms clusters of cream-colored lobes or discs.Fenner, Douglas. 2005. Corals of Hawaii: A field guide to the hard, black, and soft corals of Hawaii and the Northwest Hawaiian Islands, including Midway. They grow in large colonies, divided into ridges or hillocks. The coral is considered to be uncommon due to its low confirmed abundance, yet they are more commonly found in Hawaii, the Indo-Pacific, and the Tropical Eastern Pacific. They make up some of the largest colonies of corals, and have a slow growth rate, as indicated by their dense skeletons. Their smooth appearance is due to their small corallites growing on their surface. Characteristics Appearance ''Pavona duerdeni'' is usually a uniform grey color, having yellow and brown coloration on the surface of the coral. The coral receives its coloration from the aggregation of the yellow-brown symbiotic ''zooxanthellae'' on its hard, lobe-shaped structure. The d ...
