Turbinaria (alga)
''Turbinaria'' is a genus of brown algae (Phaeophyceae) found primarily in tropical marine waters. It generally grows on rocky substrates. In tropical ''Turbinaria'' species that are often preferentially consumed by herbivorous marine fish, fishes and echinoids, there is a relatively low level of natural phenol, phenolics and tannins. The genus has shown promise as a way of removing lead from aqueous solutions. Taxonomy and Nomenclature ''Turbinaria'' J.V. Lamouroux is a genus under family Sargassaceae, order Fucales, of the class Phaeophyceae (brown algae). Taxonomic classification is based on morphological characteristics including the shape of the leaves, vesicles, and receptacles, as well as the development of the axes. The genus has received comparatively lesser attention than other genera under Sargassaceae, and like many seaweeds, the large degree of phenotypic plasticity exhibited by different species has led to many taxonomic uncertainties.

Turbinaria Ornata
''Turbinaria ornata'' is a tropical brown algae of the order Fucales native to coral reef ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean, South Pacific. Turbinaria ornata is more commonly referred to as crowded sea bells in the US and crowned sea bells worldwide. It can quickly colonize these ecosystems due in part to its method of dispersing by detaching older and more buoyant fronds that travel on surface currents, sometimes in large rafts of many individual thalli, or fronds. Some scientists are investigating whether the increase in density of seaweeds, and a decrease in living coral density, on coral reef ecosystems indicates a change in the health of the reef, focusing studies on this particular species of brown alga. Description Yellow in color but can also be dark brown. It can span anywhere from 2-20 CM tall. A good way to describe it would be a club made up of spikey flowers. ''Turbinaria ornata'' can alter its morphology and strength of macroalgae in response to hydrodynamic forces. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Turbinaria Gracilis
''Turbinaria bifrons'', commonly known as disc coral, is a species of colonial stony coral in the family Dendrophylliidae. It is native to the Indo-Pacific region. It is a zooxanthellate coral that houses symbiont dinoflagellates in its tissues. This is an uncommon species and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being " vulnerable". Description ''Turbinaria bifrons'' is a zooxanthellate hermatypic coral and its tissues contain symbiont dinoflagellates. Its colonies begin as thin layers that become bifacial fronds that are vertical and elongated. It has conical corallites with regular shapes and sizes. The coral is mostly brown, green or grey in colour. Distribution It is classed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data Book, founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory ...
