Recently I was in a beautiful shop where I discover a very unusual coral. A splendid example of Rizotrochus typus, a coral of the family Flabellidae, very difficult to see also in nature because azooxanthellated and therefore not always on top even in the deepest dive.
The coral is truly wonderful, although unfortunately you can find a few informations even in specialized books. Within Corals of the world of Jen Veron there is a beautiful picture of a sample on page 10 of volume 1, but then nothing more. Aquarium corals by Eric H. Borneman doesn’t include in the 9-line dedicated to the family flabellidae.
The only information that seems to be reliable are those of a solitary coral that lives in the pacific ocean.
