Dpaul7 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 These arrived today; sold as FOSSILS. NO ID with them, so I thought I would give it a shot. I think the following are Manicina Coral. (Not going to venture a species yet). All except the LAST coral - Not sure about THAT one! Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Cnidaria Class: Anthozoa Order: Scleractinia Family: Mussidae Genus: Manicina Here is Coral #1 & Coral #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peat Burns Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I agree on first one, Manicina (possibly Manicina areolata) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansTheLoser Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I am not so sure with Manicina. It is possible, but your sample can be also the juvenile colony of another meandrinoid coral. Systematic sounds OK for me. It is good not to apply suborders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
