Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Isopora palifera are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Isopora palifera, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Isopora palifera, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Info

Isopora palifera (Lamarck, 1816)

“From Veron, J.E.N. Corals of the World.”

Characters: Colonies are encrusting plates or thick ridges, columns or branches. Branches are usually upright, but are commonly horizontal or irregular in shape, depending on exposure to wave action. There are usually no axial corallites. Corallites are smooth, rounded and exsert. The coenosteum is composed of fine spinules with elaborated tips.

Colour: Pale cream or brown.

Habitat: Occurs in all reef environments.

Abundance: The most abundant coral of the northern Great Barrier Reef where it is the dominant species of most exposed outer reef slopes. Usually less dominant elsewhere in Australia and most other countries.

Source reference: Veron (2000). Taxonomic references: Veron and Wallace (1984), Wallace (1999). Additional identification guides: Veron (1986), Nishihira and Veron (1995).
