Caulastrea furcata Dana 1846. Small corallites (under 10 mm. in
diameter). Septa are irregular, some much larger (tooth-like) than
others, sticking out. Have distinctive "candy cane" appearance. Common
in the wild and captivity. Easily kept, cultured, reproduced by
fragmentation. Raja Ampat pic. |

Genus Hydnophora Fischer de Waldheim 1807, Horn, Velvet, Knob
Coral. Have short tentacles that originate at base of their hydnophores.
More than capable of strongly stinging other sessile invertebrates.
Eager feeders on sizeable meaty foodstuffs. Easily reproduced through
fragmentation of healthy colonies. Perhaps this is H. pilosa. Raja Ampat
