Platygyra Daedalea
''Platygyra daedalea'', sometimes known as the lesser valley coral, is a colonial species of stony coral in the family Merulinidae. It occurs on reefs in shallow water in the Indo-Pacific region. It is a common species and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern". Description ''Platygyra daedalea'' usually forms massive dome or boulder-shaped colonies which may be a metre (yard) or more in diameter; however, sometimes it forms flattened plates or it may be encrusting. The polyps are situated in meandering valleys with low walls between them which are often perforated. The septa are toothed and protuberant, usually with uneven or pointed tips. There is an obvious ridge, the columella, in the centre of the valley. The colour varies and there may be contrasting valleys and ridges. This coral can be distinguished from the similar but less common '' Platygyra lamellina'' by the fact that the valleys are wider a ...

Platygyra Lamellina
''Platygyra lamellina'', the hard brain coral, is a species of colonial stony coral in the family Merulinidae. It occurs on reefs in shallow water in the Indo-Pacific region. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being "near threatened". Description Colonies of ''P. lamellina'' usually form massive rounded mounds, sometimes with nodular swellings, but may also form flat plates. The corallites are long, narrow and meandering, with thick walls which are up to one and a half times the thickness of the valleys between them. The septa protrude slightly and are rounded and even; they are very neatly arranged, and cross the valley walls. This coral is usually some shade of brown, with the valley bottoms sometimes being greenish or grey. It can be distinguished from the otherwise similar ''Platygyra daedalea'' by the thickness of the corallite walls and the more rounded septa. Distribution and habitat ''P. lamellina'' has a widespread ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Platygyra Contorta
''Platygyra contorta'' is a species of colonial stony coral in the family Merulinidae. It was described by John Veron in 1990. It is found at depths of and its colonies are over in diameter. It has been identified as a least-concern species. Description ''Platygyra contorta'' is a colonial species found in columnar or encrusting structures. It is light yellow, green, grey, or red in colour, and it has thin walls. Its septa are non-uniform and its valleys are curved and short at the centre of colonies, becoming linear and long at the margins of colonies. Colonies have diameters often exceeding . Its valleys measure between in width. The species has a similar appearance to '' Goniastrea deformis'' and ''Platygyra verweyi''. Distribution It is found in the eastern and western Indian Ocean, and the northwestern, eastern central, and western central Pacific Ocean. In Japan, it is common near the mainland (Honshu), and is uncommon in the Ryukyu Islands. It also occurs in Australia, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Merulinidae
Merulinidae is a family of reef-building stony corals. Characteristics All the genera in this family are colonial, reef-building corals. Skeletal structures are similar to those of Faviidae but are highly fused, without paliform lobes. The valleys are superficial or may be indistinct because of fan-like spreading or contortions in the ridges. Faviidae and Trachyphylliidae are the most closely related families.
