but occurs in soft corals, other Classes. Burning adjoining
species, different genotypes. Occur in response and in the
direction of strangers. Can break off keep stinging, digesting.
Size of
species, polyps no indication of length of sweepers, nor most
importantly, the number of cnidocysts Ex. Oculinds of 12 length.
Caryophylliids/Euphylliids very common as well. Plerogyra at right.
A
