Cyphastrea · unidentified specimen — size comparison — facts and sources

Cyphastrea has small, separate corallites rising from a shared colony surface. In traded forms they often contrast in colour with surrounding tissue. The specimen’s species remains undetermined.

The colony encrusts the substrate. It uses photosynthesis products from symbiotic algae, while polyps also capture food from the water.
