Tubastrea micracantha (Dana 1849), Black Sun
Coral. External flesh (coenesteum) green to brown to blackish in
color. Colonies are often tree-like, up to a meter in height. Also
exceptional for the genus, T. micrantha is a poor captive survivor.
Consummate with its feeding habits are good current, filtration to remove
foods, wastes. Oh yeah, and about covered in Waminoa flatworms where alive;
a pinkish sponge where not. S. Leyte 2013 |

Turbinaria peltata (Esper 1794), Cup Coral to aquarists (aka Octopus,
Platter, Saucer, Turban, Vase in the trade). Indo-Pacific; east Africa to
Samoa. A hardy species that often produces copious mucus that is perhaps a
double mechanism to clean itself of detritus and possibly feed.

Euphyllia ancora Veron & Pichon 1980, Hammer or Anchor Coral.
Tentacles with anchor, hammer or u-shaped tips. Genus Euphyllia Dana
1846: These corals are unified and identified by salient characteristics of
their skeletons, the walls of which are thin, solid, smooth edged, reach
from the middle to edge of colonies. Warning: The stinging
cells of these species are strong to many humans as well as aquarium
specimens!
