The polyps consist of a single to numerous centres with septo-costae having fine granulations. Cantharellus can be found in the Indo-West Pacific, western and eastern Australia, southern Africa and the Red Sea. There are at least three species of Cantharellus: C. noumeae has been reported in New Caledonia, western and eastern Australia and the Red Sea (Hoeksema, 1989; Veron, 1993; Veron, 2000), C. jebbi Hoeksema, 1993, has been reported to be widespread in the IWP including the Philippines, and C. doederleini (Marenzeller, 1907) from the Red Sea and western Indian Ocean (Veron, 2000). Here, we describe a specimen of C. noumeae from the Philippines extending its range more to the north of the Indo-West Pacific.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E17A87F1FFDEFFC3FC58F808FD1BFDCC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Wilfredo Y. Licuanan, 27 Nov.2002.</p> <p>Description. – Corallum 11.5 cm in diameter, encrusting, composed of 8-13 irregular, somewhat tiered, fan-like lobes of septo-costae radiating from 31 corallite centers 2 to 5.4 cm in diameter. Septo-costae of four to five orders. First order septa exsert, with fine club-like, branched dentations all throughout their margins. These reach the columella and extend to the lobe margin without branching. Second order septa less exsert but are also unbranched and have the same type of septal margins. These higher order septa typically do not extend to the corallite center. Third order septa are usually found between the second and first orders and are composed of two to three fourth order septa. The latter fuse about a fourth to a third the way from the lobe margin to become the third order septa. For every three fourth order branches of septa, the central one does not usually branch while the two lateral to it may branch to two fifth order septa, each near the lobe margins. Compound synapticulae connect the septa laterally. The sides of the septa have numerous granulations. Columella composed of vertical pencil-like trabeculae and lobe-like extensions of the first order septa. Costae are equal to sub-equal and have similar margins as the septa. They remain distinct up to the point of attachment.</p> <p>FAMILY POCILLOPORIDAE</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E17A87F1FFDFFFC3FF51FD62FA82FCCC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Licuanan, 8 May.2003.</p> <p>Description. – Corallum (P1L01121) is composed of flattened, prostrate branches that are wider and flatter at the tips than at the base, with a tendency to form tiers. Flattened branches up to 10 cm in length with short, vertical, blunt branchlets of up to 2.5 cm in height. Corallite sizes of 0.8 mm to 0.9 mm with one cycle of septa and a styliform columella. Thecal rim is raised on one side forming a somewhat indistinct hood extended by flattened, radiallyarranged spines. Hood orientation may vary from corallite to corallite regardless of position along the branch. Intercolumellar distances range from 1-2 mm on the branches with corallites becoming sparser at the corallum base. Porous coenosteum is covered by shorter, unbranched spines that have a tendency to form rows.</p> <p>The prostrate branches and the limited development of hoods (as described by Scheer &amp; Pillai, 1983) that face different directions (as described by Veron, 2000) distinguish this species from other Stylophora especially S. pistillata Esper, 1797. The latter may have blunt ended branches with limited development of hoods and similar coenosteum, but will sometimes have two cycles of septa (Veron, 2000).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E17A87F1FFDFFFC0FCE3FAE2FD2CFBF5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Of Wallace’s 113, 73 species are found in southeast Asia. Only 13 species are found to be endemic to certain areas of the Indo-Pacific while the rest are widespread from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean (Wallace, 1999). However, the central Indo-Pacific region has the highest diversity of Acropora mainly brought about by the continuing range expansion of the species from both the Indian and Pacific oceans (Wallace, 1999). Acropra halmaherae was classified by Wallace (1999) under the Acropora horrida group along with seven other species that are usually found in subtidal sheltered habitats.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E17A87F1FFDCFFC0FBBBFC93FB15FA9E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Incipient branches are common, and form almost perpendicular to the main branch near the corallum base. Axial corallites 1.0 mm outer diameter, 0.6 mm inner diameter with primary septa extending from one-half to three-fourths the corallite radius. Secondary septa are reduced to ridges or absent. Radial corallites about the same diameter as the axial corallite. These are crowded but not touching, tubular round to nariform in shape, but mostly the former. Radials usually with prominent directives that may extend past the calice center. Coenosteum reticulate, with simple to elaborate spinules arranged in neat rows. Wallace &amp; Wolstenholme (1998) describes this species as being similar to A. derawanensis Wallace, 1997 except for the latter’s smaller branch diameter, shorter branches with more widely spaced radials and a coenosteum with finer spinules. Veron (2000) synonymizes A. halmaherae with A. parilis (Quelch, 1886) but the latter is distinct in that it has larger and more exsert axial corallites, and radial corallites that grow longer near the branch tips.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E17A87F1FFDCFFC1FCE6FA8CFD99FC7F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
