Figure 14. Goniastrea Milne Edwards & Haime, 1848a, generally has discrete corallites, small to medium (≤ 15 mm) calices, equally thick costosepta, and well-developed paliform (uniaxial) and/or septal (multiaxial) lobes. Septal teeth are often low (<0.3 mm) and narrowly spaced (<0.3 mm). Walls formed by strong abortive septa and partial septotheca; trabeculothecal elements may be present. A–C, Goniastrea retiformis (Lamarck, 1816), type species of Goniastrea; macromorphology, holotype MNHN IK-2010-693, unknown locality (A); micromorphology (scanning electron microscopy; B) and microstructure (transverse thin section; C), hypotype USNM 1013047 (FA1030), Saipan, Mariana Islands. D–F, Goniastrea edwardsi Chevalier, 1971; macromorphology, holotype MNHN IK-2010-654, Seychelles (D); micromorphology (E) and microstructure (F), hypotype RMNH 11194, Lizard Island, Australia. G–I, Goniastrea favulus (Dana, 1846); macromorphology (G), micromorphology (H), and microstructure (I), syntype USNM 66, Fiji. J–L, Goniastrea stelligera (Dana, 1846); macromorphology (J), micromorphology (K), and microstructure (L), syntype USNM 55, Fiji.
