Echinophyllia
''Echinophyllia'' is a genus of large polyp stony corals. Members of this genus are colonial corals and are generally foliaceous, usually with very thin leaves. They are native to the Indo-Pacific and are sometimes found in reef aquariums. Genera The World Register of Marine Species lists the following species In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate s ...: *'' Echinophyllia aspera'' (Ellis & Solander, 1786) *'' Echinophyllia bulbosa'' Arrigoni, Benzoni & Berumen, 2016 *'' Echinophyllia costata'' Fenner & Veron, 2000 *'' Echinophyllia echinata'' (Saville-Kent, 1871) *'' Echinophyllia echinoporoides'' Veron & Pichon, 1980 *'' Echinophyllia galli'' Benzoni & Arrigoni, 2016 *'' Echinophyllia hirsuta'' Nemenzo, 1979 *'' Echinophyllia orpheensis'' Veron & Pichon, 1980 *'' ...

Echinophyllia Aspera
''Echinophyllia aspera'', commonly known as the chalice coral, is a species of large polyp stony corals in the family Lobophylliidae. It is a colonial coral which is partly encrusting and partly forms laminate plates or tiers. It is native to the western and central Indo-Pacific. Description Colonies of ''E. aspera'' are quite diverse in form and may be up to across. Some are encrusting but others are hummocky or have thickened sections, with plates, whorls or tiers which tend to lie parallel to the underlying surface. The corallites (stony cups in which the polyps sit) are usually level with the surface but may be protuberant in some colonies. They are normally only on the upper surface of leaves and plates. Small colonies may have a large central corallite and a number of widely spaced peripheral ones, with septo-costae (stony ridges) radiating from the central one. As the colony grows, the distinction between the main and peripheral corallites is lost. The septo-costae are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
