Boulder star is a coral species native to shallow waters in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, the Bahamas, Bermuda and Florida. Colonies of boulder star coral usually form massive clumps with uneven surfaces and sometimes they form plates. They are usually orange-brown, greenish-brown or greyish-brown, but the extremities of the lumps are often pale or white. Boulder star coral is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.

disagree  Cyril Tollari: Monastraea annularis n'existe pas. Montastraea annularis est obsolète (c'est en fait trois espèces, dont Orbicella franksi ou Corail étoile en bloc). https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp0/profile/speciesProfile;jsessionid=...

Nom usuel "Corail étoile en bloc" à utiliser si vous ne voulez pas utiliser le nom scientifique partout, mais je suggère de faire apparaître Orbicella franksi au moins une fois à côté de Corail étoile en bloc
