The family Fungiidae currently includes 15 genera with about 57 species. Although there are descriptions of fossils from the Cretaceous period, which are doubtful according to Veron, they are stony corals that only spread after the last great extinction about 65 million years ago.
And again we have to remember new names and forget old, certainly very established, names. The taxonomists have given new names to several corals previously known as Euphyllia. Here is a list of the relevant species and names.
There are three main reasons why a coral is or can be a rarity in aquariums.The coral has only been known for a short time or is rare in the trade and is therefore not very common. The coral comes from Australia, or is newly introduced and accordingly expensive. The coral is very delicate and is therefore only kept by a few specialists.

For SPS growers and coral lovers, the question of how to make their offshoots always arises. Not every tool is well suited for this. This one certainly is.
MarineFauna is an export company located near Cebu City in the Philippines. We are marine biologists and started 22 years ago with a new approach to gently catch aquarium animals and export them all over the world, as well as to Germany. Now it comes to a transshipping cooperation with Whitecorals.
Tropic Marin presented their new products in detail in a video at Interzoo. It is about the better nutrient supply of the corals, even in the so-called start-up phase.
We were once again at Whitecorals for a video. Besides the new products, we were of course most interested in the coral farm. It is simply the future of the trade. So we got a lot of input why farm breeding is the better choice. Enjoy the two great videos, we think.
Once again we were on a very interesting and informative house visit: Our 5th visit to Fish and More in Mudersbach near Siegen was of course recorded in a few videos. The first part is about the coral breeding that is regularly practised there.
Biologists at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) have discovered three new species of hard coral in Hong Kong waters that have not been identified anywhere else in the world. They are Tubastraea dendroida, Tubastraea violacea and Tubastraea chloromura. Little by little, we will integrate the new animals into the seawater lexicon.
