  • This is a polyp of Alveopora japonica, a small zooxanthellate scleractinian coral that produces large polyps. The orange spheres are planulae, or larval corals. Individual planula migrate from the coral stalk to the mouth, where the planula emerges and swims into the water. The species is found in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Recent research suggests that genetic differences among the three populations are large enough to warrant consideration as separate species.
