 | solonavi wrote on May 27, '07, edited on May 27, '07 Look like a Cup Coral, Turbinaria Sp. to me. Probably a Turbinaria peltata. |
 | Maybe a Brain Coral, Favites Sp.? |
 | nice ... where is this place actually? |
 | These corals looked alike to me, the pattern make me confuse..haha, thanks for your id. |
 | Thanks for your compliments. These are taken in Spore waters. It's an island south of it, called Pulau Hantu. |
 | Looks like fun muck diving ... exciting. |
 | solonavi wrote on May 29, '07, edited on May 29, '07 If I'm not wrong, the trick to differential Platygyra and Favitas is that each polyp of the Favitas is enclosed with 5-6 edges while Platygyra are not (sort of like walls running ard the skeletons.). |
 | Yup, Disc coral aka. Turbinaria |
 | Seems like it. I get kind of confused with it and the favites. In fact, I can't make out the difference even with that coral reef guide book of spore. |
