Image

Is this image:

Porites asteroides? I suspect it is but am not certain. The source page is ambiguous as to whether this image is P. porites or P. asteroides bondolo (talk) 05:53, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are right, P porites has finger-like lobes. I have added the image to the article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:56, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
