Cycloseris distorta ( Michelin, 1842) View in CoL

Cycloseris distorta View in CoL – Turak & DeVantier, 2011: 130.

A fragmented coral identified as Diaseris distorta View in CoL , shown in a black and white photograph by Turak & DeVantier (2011), is actually a specimen of C. sinensis View in CoL . Colour photographs of live specimens taken in Indonesia ( Turak & DeVantier, 2011) actually represent C. fragilis View in CoL , which can be recognised because of its very thin septa (see Hoeksema, 1989).
