| Notes |
Description: Barabattoia is an ill-defined genus made up of uncommon species which usually have elongate corallites. Sometimes these corallites are so elongate that they anastomose, giving the colonies a "dendroid" structure (Veron, 1986 <57>). [details] Remark: Type species: Barabattoia mirabilis Yabe &Sugiyama, 1941 from the Yap Islands. (Veron, 1986) [details] | ||||||||||||||||
