Description
Cycloseris distorta (Michelin, 1842)
Cycloseris distorta – Turak & DeVantier, 2011: 130.
A fragmented coral identified as Diaseris distorta, shown in a black and white photograph by Turak & DeVantier (2011), is actually a specimen of C. sinensis. Colour photographs of live specimens taken in Indonesia (Turak & DeVantier, 2011) actually represent C. fragilis, which can be recognised because of its very thin septa (see Hoeksema, 1989).
