Order Scleractinia Bourne, 1900

Te classification of the order Scleractinia follows the studies by Vaughan and Wells (1943), Wells (1956), and Alloiteau (1952, 1957) with the difference that, instead of suborders, superfamilies are applied. More explication and comparison of both classification systems are found in Löser (2016) and Löser et al. (2018).

Te following abbreviations are used to describe the dimensions of the corals: c, corallite diameter (outer diameter); ccd, distance between corallite centres; cdw, distance between corallite centres within series; cl, corallite diameter (lumen, calicular pit); cmax, large corallite diameter; cmin, small corallite diameter; crd, distance of corallite series; septa, number of septa in the adult corallite; sk, number of septa, which reach the columella.
