Merulina scabricula Dana 1846
Characters: Colonies
are laminar or subarborescent, with these different growth-forms
characteristically occurring together in large colonies. Valleys are short,
straight, and spread in a fan before dividing. They radiate from the colony
centre on flat surfaces, but are highly contorted on branches. Flat surfaces
often have concentric growth lines. Tentacles are extended only at night. Well
developed colonies always have some branch development.
Colour: Blue
or pale brown with blue margins (which may photograph pink). Tentacles are
extended only at night.
Similar Species: Merulina
ampliata, which has thicker and coarser skeletal structures. (COTW)
