Xestospongia testudinaria,Barrel Sponge

Date: 2019/12/27Category: CoralTag: brown

锉海绵属海绵

This species is maroon to pink, with the opening of the barrel pale white.

Specimens are often found emerging from an apparent common base. In the intertidal zones, this species ranges from 10 to 20 cm in diameter, and are about 10 to 20 cm tall.

A bioactive peptide consisting of 13 amino acids, KENPVLSLVNGMF, has been identified from this species. The peptide was selectively toxic to human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), but non-toxic to non-cancerous, human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK 293 cells).

Tubastraea faulkneri,Orange Cup Coral

Date: 2019/12/27Category: CoralTag: yellow, pink

福克纳管星珊瑚

Tubastraea faulkneri is an encrusting coral that can become massive and strongly convex. The corallites of this species are covered with a porous tissue (coenosteum) with a vermicular appearance.

The calices have a diameter of 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) and a depth of 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in). They are spaced of 5–15 mm (0.20–0.59 in) and rise of 3–8 mm (0.12–0.31 in) above the coenosteum. The tentacles of the polyps are bright yellow-orange, while the coenosteum and the center of the polyps are deeper orange. The surface of the coenosteum is swollen between calices.

Tubastraea coccinea,Orange Cup Coral

短管星珊瑚

Sun corals belong to a group of corals known as large-polyp stony corals. This means[clarification needed] that while they produce a hard skeleton, they do not build reefs. Different species have polyps in a variety of colors, including yellow, orange, and shades of black.

软珊瑚

SUMMARYA new species of Predaea (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta) is described from Hawaii. It is compared in important morphological details with other species of the genus, all of which are distributed in the subtropics. Predaea is likewise compared to the genera of Nemastomataceae, and should be included in that family. The genus Yadranella Ercegovic (Nemaliales, Rhodophyta) is placed in synonymy with Predaea.

Plerogyra sinuosa,Bubble Coral

Date: 2019/12/27Category: CoralTag: white, transparent

气泡珊瑚

Colonies of Plerogyra sinuosa are in the form of an inverted cone that may be as much as a metre (yard) across. The corallites in small colonies are monocentric and trochoid, but become flabellomeandroiid (arranged in valleys, the neighbouring valleys having separate walls) in larger colonies. The septa have smooth margins but are irregularly arranged giving the colony an untidy appearance. The costae on young colonies sometimes form lobes which develop spines. These spines then elongate and a new polyp develops, this budding method being an unusual occurrence among corals.

副鞭毛虫

Paracorynactis hoplites polyps can vary in diameter from as small as only 2 mm (0.08 in) to as large as 21 cm (8 in). Their tentacles end in extremely sticky balls (acrospheres) covered with stinging cells

Oceanapia sagittaria,Pink Puff Ball Sponge, Maiden’s Fans Sponges

Date: 2019/12/27Category: CoralTag: pink, brown

粉色球海绵

Small delicate prickly ball about 1-2cm in diameter, on a short conical stem (called the capitate structure). The ball has fine sheets between the prickles. Seen singly but sometimes a few seen near one another growing on coral rubble. This puffy fluff is just a tiny part of the sponge. The bulk of the sponge is actually buried! The main sponge is bulbous and spherical. Colour usually a deep maroon to bright pink.

Nephtheis fascicularis,Lollipop Tunicate,Blue Palm Coral

棒棒糖珊瑚、蓝棕榈珊瑚

Nephtheis fascicularis, commonly called the lollipop tunicate, lollipop coral, or blue palm coral, is a species of tunicate that is native to the shallow reefs of Indonesia. It is the only species in its genus Nephtheis. They are not photosynthetic, and live on plankton and small organic particles obtained from the water currents. The branched stems are formed by tiny polyps called zooids.

Ianthella basta,Elephant Ear Sponge, Paper Sponge

大象耳海绵

Ianthella basta, commonly known as elephant ear sponge, is a species of fan-shaped sea sponge in the class Demospongiae. It is also known as the paper sponge or scroll sponge.

Sponges are marine invertebrates with a jellylike mesohyl sandwiched between two layers of cells. They are filter feeders maintaining a flow of water through their structure which passes out through large openings called oscula. They have a fragile skeleton of stiff spicules.

Heteractis magnifica,Colored Long Tentacle Anemone

Date: 2019/12/27Category: CoralTag: white

公主海葵

The magnificent sea anemone is characterized by a flared oral disc which reaches between 20 and 50 cm in diameter, but in some specimens, this can reach 1 m. The oral disc, the base of the tentacles, and the oral orifice have the same color going from light beige to white.

The numerous tentacles exceed 8 cm long. The sea anemone, being a member of the Hexacorallia, usually carries tentacles in multiples of six that are positioned in concentric circles. Their tips are fingered and often lighter in coloration than the tentacle body and are sometimes vividly colored.

Goniopora sp01

柱形管孔珊瑚

Goniopora, often called flowerpot coral, is a genus of colonial stony coral found in lagoons and turbid water conditions. Goniopora have numerous daisy-like polyps that extend outward from the base, each tipped with 24 stinging tentacles which surrounds a mouth.

腰子海葵

This type of madreporial colony is easy to identify because of its puffy tubular tentacles with T-shaped tips. The coral is blue-gray to orange in color, sometimes with green on the tentacles. It can demonstrate full or partial viral infection of green fluorescent protein, a trait highly sought for aquarium specimens. Colonies are usually no more than a meter across, but at times can reach several meters.

Bubble-tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) is a species of sea anemone in the family Actiniidae. Like several anemone species, E. quadricolor can support several anemonefish species, and displays two growth types based on where they live in the water column, one of which gives it the common name, due to the bulbous tips on its tentacles.

This species frequently occurs in dense clusters. It has large 2–4 cm cylindrical zooids. They generally range from black to dark blue to gray in colour, with individual zooids having fluorescent green, yellow, or white rings around both siphons. The external cover has a firm basal matrix, and is somewhat transparent and soft.

C. filiformis resembles the sea anemone and has a stretched and muscularised body which can reach 35 cm. Its body has the shape of a large polyp with numerous mobile tentacles. The tint of the tentacles is variously white, green, orange or purple and the central tentacles may have a different coloration from the marginal tentacles.
