Stylophora Schweigger

Remarks. – Unlike other coral genera, the center of diversity of Stylophora is in the western Indian Ocean and the Red Sea ( Veron, 1995) and not in the Indo-West Pacific. S. kuehlmanni and S. danae , both described here, have been recorded from the Red Sea (Scheer & Pillai, 1983). Nemenzo (1964, 1986) described S. danae from Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro in western Philippines but the species is not reflected in Veron & Hodgson (1989) nor in Veron & Fenner (2000), hence this report.
