Trachyphylliidae
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. Genera The World Register of Marine Species includes these genera in the family: *'' Astrea'' Lamarck, 1801 *''Australogyra'' Veron & Pichon, 1982 *'' Boninastrea'' Yabe & Sugiyama, 1935 *''Caulastraea'' Dana, 1846 *''Coelastrea'' Verrill, 1866 *''Cyphastrea'' Milne Edwards & Haime, 1848 *''Dipsastraea'' Blainville, 1830 *''Echinopora'' Lamarck, 1816 *''Erythrastrea'' Pichon, Scheer & Pillai, 1983 *''Favites'' Link, 1807 *''Goniastrea'' Milne Edwards & Haime, 1848 *''Hydnophora'' Fischer von Waldheim, 1807 *'' Hydnophyllia'' † Reis, 1889 *'' Isastraea''† Milne Edwards ...
