3.
CLASS ANTHOZOA (SCLERACTINIA)
Corallum compound. Encrusting tomassive. no hermatypic. Plocoid
(Corallites
have separate, elevated walls,connected/separated by narrow
interveninglayer of coenosteum.) calyces nearly flat or
slightlyelevated; septa dentate; columella with
papillate texture.This is the only coral that lives in the
sandy,
near-shorezone of the Northwest Gulf of Mexico. Why
is this adifficult environment for corals (three
reasons)?4.
CLASS ANTHOZOA (TABULATA)
Small, colonial corallum, consisting of anopen network of small,
low, trumpet-shapedcorallites, encrusting on another organism,
usually a brachiopod.

CLASS ANTHOZOA (OCTOCORALLIA)
"Purple Sea Fan"
Horny axis (core); thick rind of close-packedspicules.
Colony fan-shaped, with branches located inone plane,
anastomosing or reticulate.The purple color is a pigment
(organic
compound).Planar, anastomosing (Dividing and
merging again, like channels of a braidedstream) or reticulate,
fan-like colony form
has evolved independently in many unrelatedtaxa,
providing many examples of convergentevolution. Can
you think of two other examples? [Hint: youwill see
them in the Ectoprocta and Graptolithinaexercises.]
What functional advantage is provided bythis colonial
growth form? Hint: Where do they live, andhow do they
feed?

completewalls btwn closely packed adjacentcorallites) Calyx
