Galaxea astreata Lamarck 1816. Generally smaller corallites than G. fascicularis (3-5 versus 10 millimeter diameter), an important characteristic as these are the two common species of this genus and their extensive ranges overlap greatly. Tentacles usually only out at night. Bali 2014 
 
Galaxea fascicularis Linnaeus 1767). Captive colonies are ball-shaped, in the wild more like low-lying cushions that may extend meters over the bottom. Corallites well-separated with blade-like septa that may rise more than a cm. above the corallite wall. Occur in grays, greens and browns. Transparent tentacles out during the day, generally with contrasting colored tips. Bali 2014
