Hermatypic corals of Western Australia : records and annotated species list

“…Records: Scott slope) GENUS ACROPCRA (Oken, 1815) As with most Montipora species, there is a greater degree of intra-specific similarity between coralla of the NW Shelf and the Great Barrier Reef than there is between those of the NW Shelf and coastal and temperate western localities. There are also major differences in the relative abundance of species between these regions.…”

“…559-563 Much more abundant on the west coast than on the east. Colonies tend to form thin plates similar to those of O. lacera (Veron 1986b, p. 381 GENUS MYCEDIUM Oken, 1815 Mycedium elephantotus (Pallas, 1766) Veron and Pichon (1980) Mycedium robokaki Moll and Borel Best, 1984 Moll and Borel Best (1984): 56-58, figs. 10, 1 1.…”

“…Ashmore (lagoon, 0-6m, outer slope, 6-20m) GENUS PECTINIA Oken, 1815 Pectinia lactuca (Pallas, 1766) Veron and Pichon (1980) Nemenzo, 1981 Uncommon, occurs only on NW Shell reels (Veron 1986b, p. 389, fig. 1, at the Rowley Shoals).…”

“…FAMILY DENDROPHYLLIIDAE (Gray, 1847) GENUS TURBINARIA Oken, 1815 As on the east coast, Turbinaria species become increasingly abundant the further south they range. In general, there are greater similarities between coralla of most species from high latitude localities on east and west coasts than there are between high and low latitude localities on the same coast.…”
