Description
Lithophyllon spinifer (Claereboudt & Hoeksema, 1987)
Fungia spinifer – Turak & DeVantier, 2011: 139.
Colour photographs of a live specimen published by Turak & DeVantier (2011) were taken in Indonesia. An additional black and white photograph (locality not indicated) only shows a quarter portion of the upper surface of a thin, coral, which could be a juvenile specimen of L. spinifer or belong to Cycloseris fragilis. Specimens of L. spinifer are shaped like a saucer, usually with a thick, bulging central area, a corallum margin turning upward, and strongly developed lower order costae (Claereboudt & Hoeksema, 1987; Hoeksema, 1989, 1993).
