The Australogyra
Zelli, which bears no known common name, is a truly unique coral among
the family Faviidae. Similar in appearance to some corals of the genus
Hydnophora, the Zelli is a
branching coral with velvity
tissue. Although these corals are very rarely offered for sale, they are
occasionally available. Captive care in a reef tank is demanding, as these
corals require very high water quality to be successful.
