Mussa angulosa (Pallas 1766). Large, fleshy polyps that are
well-separated. When retracted, skeletal elements/septa appear spiny. To
two feet in diameter. This specimen had polyps that were palm-sized!

Colpophyllia natans (Houttuyn 1772), Symmetrical Brain Coral.
Large roundish to hemispherical colonies or encrusting. Long snake-like
valleys. Septa short, equal and pointing out. A fine ambulacral groove
runs along the top between corallite walls, and a further line can be
seen midway down the valleys. A starting colony, single polyp in Roatan
2017. Thanks to Julian Sprung for the ID. Oh, similar to Manicina
areolata. |
