Tubipora

Mat-forming

A bright red skeleton of stacked vertical tubes, almost entirely hidden under the polyps.

  • The red skeleton showing at a bare or broken edge is the definitive tell
  • Fine daisy-like polyps, usually grey-green, covering the surface
  • Polyps sit over a visible stacked-tube structure, not a flat mat
