Genus Scleronephthya Studer 1887:
Mostly small (less than 4 inch tall) colonies that are very contractile
(often look like blobs at slack tides, currents, otherwise non-feeding
during the day). Often uni-planar and multi-branched. One-shape polyps that
are found only on branches. Lack zooxanthellae, but come in many colors
(mostly orange, but pink, purple, even white. Bali 2014 |

Genus
Dendronephthya
Kukenthal 1905: Strawberry Corals. Greatly bunched, bushy colonies. Common
in many areas of the tropical Indo-Pacific. Lack Zooxanthellae, dependent of
nano-plankton and dissolved organics for food. Some grow exposed, many
others in caves, sheltered settings, mostly "upside down". Some 250 species
are said to exist... not able to be discerned in the field... must be
microscopically examined. A "Roxasia" specimen here in Bali 2014 |
