phymastrea一个新属?
Following some massive changes in coral nomenclature, after some research activity carried out by members of the international ‘Scleractinian Systematics working Group’. This group is using new morphologic and molecular genetics analyses and have ended up changing quite a few things in coral nomenclature. Phymastrea is one of them.
他们的任务之一是将属与大西洋和印度太平洋地区分开,因此,蒙特斯特里亚and法维亚are specifically used only for Atlantic species, and replaced byphymastreaandDipsastraea对于印度太平洋物种。
Some other former Indo-Pacific members of the genus蒙特斯特里亚,也被重新分类为Astrea和Paramontastrea。They differ fromphymastrea主要具有较小的息肉。
Phymastrea Colemani比您想象的更受欢迎:
我们经常看到phymastrea错误地确定为MICROMUSSA,,,,法维亚,,,,acanthastrea…因此,我们认为我们可以发表帖子来帮助每个人正确识别它。和Phymastrea Colemani是一个非常受欢迎的珊瑚。
菌落是巨大的,无论是平坦还是圆顶形。珊瑚岩是带有自己的墙壁和单一中心的圆锥形。珊瑚岩被自己的墙壁隔开。冠状发芽的大小变化。
不能与其他创的面孔us:
法维亚(NowDipsastraeafor Indo-Pacific species) is the closest relative.
差异包括:孔孔内发芽phymastrea, 尽管Dipsastraea(法维亚)orMICROMUSSA正在进行弯曲外萌芽。
The intra-tentacular budding usually makes the coral, looks much more crowded with corallites. The polyps of this species are smaller than most Acanthastrea. And only a fewDipsastreaandMICROMUSSAhave polyps this small.
和phymastreasepta alternate in size, while septa size is more regular withDipsastraea。相比下,MICROMUSSA,,,,orFavites在珊瑚岩之间共享墙,这使它们易于与phymastrea。
D. colemani: Polyps are 5-8 mm in diameter. Septa are composed of clearly two cycles of different sizes that alternate. A paliform is clearly visible around the mouth.
这是在受保护和浑浊的礁石中发现的经典珊瑚,但并没有真正介意一些流动。我们通常会发现它在其他珊瑚的一侧或深度低于10 m(30英尺)的侧面。
如果您将这些珊瑚保持在水族馆中,则光和流动应为中等。像所有LP一样,定期喂养是增加增长的好方法。
Other species of the genus:
该属由4种不同的物种组成:
其他物种包括P. Magnistellata,看起来很像Favia,其间隔的冠状球体,除了弯曲外萌芽。
P. Multipunctata和P。Valenciennesithat is very similar toP. colemani,但没有紫色的裂片和稍大的珊瑚岩。
希望这有助于了解这个美丽的珊瑚。
