Figure 9. Cyphastrea Milne Edwards & Haime, 1848a has discrete corallites that bud extracalicularly, small (<4 mm) and low-relief (<3 mm) calices, regular free septa, and compact columellae. Septal teeth are low (<0.3 mm) and narrowly spaced (<0.3 mm), with multiaxial tips; strong (pointed) granules scattered on septal face. Walls formed by dominant septotheca. A–C, Cyphastrea microphthalma (Lamarck, 1816), type species of Cyphastrea; macromorphology, holotype MNHN IK-2012–14002, unknown locality (A); micromorphology (scanning electron microscopy; B) and microstructure (transverse thin section; C), hypotype RMNH 15111 (FA1035), southwest Sulawesi, Indonesia. D–F, Cyphastrea chalcidicum (Forskål, 1775); macromorphology, hypotype MTQ G61902, Orpheus Island, Australia (D); micromorphology (E) and microstructure (F), hypotype RMNH 12787, Gulf of Aqaba, Israel. G–I, Cyphastrea serailia (Forskål, 1775); macromorphology, syntype ZMUC ANT-000367, Red Sea (G; photo by M. A.
