Description

FIGURE 14. Illustrations of the polyps magnified under a stereomicroscope of each morphotype described in Clade C for Polynesian specimens and grouped following the taxonomic discussion. Illustrated polyps have all been stored in 70% ethanol for the same period of time before being photographed, therefore their state of preservation is comparable. Scales: 1 mm.
