Coral Genus of the Family Pectiniidae.

Many of the coral species in the family Pectiniidae are plating or encrusting in morphology. They can be found in spectacular colorations and are common only to the Pacific ocean. These corals are often readily available to the reef aquarist, particularly species of the genus Oxypora, such as the 'Scroll Coral' (Oxypora Lacera) and the 'Lettuce Coral' (Pectinia Peaeonia).

Coral Genus of the Family Pectiniidae include:

> Echinophyllia *
> Mycedium
> Oxypora
> Pectinia
> Physophyllia *

* At this time, Easy Reefer is unaware of any corals in this genus that are being successfully kept in reef aquariums.
