It’s been nearly a year now since the familiar Australian ‘Scolymia’ and Bowerbankis were removed fromacanthastreaandplaced into their own new genus同叶。毫不奇怪，大多数礁仍然称它们为“ Acans”，但我们可以通过分组来学习很多东西anygroup of corals properly.
最好的例子可能是真菌and环球体圆盘珊瑚 - 虽然平坦和圆盘形，但真菌和气旋来自截然不同的栖息地。在较高的较高能量环境中，与许多SPS珊瑚一起，在浅水至中间的浅水中更常见菌丝。另一方面，气旋通常在更深，更狭窄的环境中发现。
The problem in lumping all disc corals as Fungias takes away our ability to give them the proper care in reef aquariums. We wouldn’t lump angelfish and butterflyfish together, and we shouldn’t do it for corals either.
这使我回到了我的原始观点 - 澳大利亚的Scolies和Bowerbanki是不是Acans，我们越早有意识地看到它们与真实不同acanthastrea并这样对待他们，我们越早了解他们的圈养护理中的细微差别。
The smaller polyped ‘Hillae’ corals are no longer a distinct species, so all of these colonial同叶现在，珊瑚通常被称为“银行”。澳大利亚的Scolies始终是LFS，礁石表演和家庭水族馆的吸引者，但最近我们确实看到多样性和质量同叶bowerbanki珊瑚向水族馆的爱好提供。
我们终于开始看到Bankies出现Master, UFO, Warpaint and other colors that are usually reserved for Scolies, and some other great and interesting colors too. It seems that Australian coral collectors are just as aggressive about finding and collecting ever higher quality corals, and now that we can recognize the uniqueness of the two species of同叶, hopefully we’ll have more success keeping and propagating them too.
