Coral question

[theishkid]

I'm just curious if Birdsnest is the same or in the same family as Stylophora and or Pocillopora? I've never examined them all together but sometimes they look alike.

So how closely are the three related? Stylophora, Pocillopora, and Seriatopora

 

[captbunzo]

They are all in same family, Pocillipora. (or something like that)

 

[VCoo71]

family.... Pocilloporidae genus....Seriatopora
