Palythoa caesia Dana 1848. Rubbery appearing common mat, flattened polyps exposed to varying degrees to 3 cm. diameters. Tentacle ends look like knobs. Dark brown to tan in color. Western Pacific. Here in Bali on a dead coral that is encrusted w/ a red sponge, and a worm tube ensconcing a fang blenny. Bali  2014

Protopalythoa sp. Polyps as flat oral discs... 1, 2, 3 cm. in diameter (thought to be species specific). Tentacles on stalks, knob-like on polyp margins. Western Pacific. Bali 2014
 
Acropora, with a couple of hundred species, are what most people picture when they hear the word "coral". Most are branched tree-like or interwoven, with fast growing and often differently colored apical corallites (growing tips). These are the mass spawners, with their axial corallites releasing sex cells seasonally. Due to their fast growth (sometimes more than an inch a month), mix of available species and colors, this is a favorite genus of advanced reef aquarists. Bali 2014
