Stylophora Coral Species.

Often mistaken for members of the genus Pocillopora, corals of the genus Stylophora are branching in morphology, with some of the thickest branches found among stony corals. Many of these corals develop heavier at the tips of their branches, giving rise to the common name 'Club Finger Coral'. Stylophoras are beautiful corals, found in colors including pink, blue, purple and often green. These corals produce stinging sweeper tentacles, although short enough to pose little threat to corals placed any distance from larger colonies.

 

Coral species of the Genus Stylophora include:

> Stylophora Mordax > Stylophora Pistillata
