 Lobophysiology question... Does anyone know where I can get some information on lobophyllia physiology? I am curious about the polyps and the tentacles edges. What is the stimulus-response mechanism and what is the communication method between polyps?  |

| Re: Lobophysiology question... Eric, I thought I could find a good site that I previously had access to, that had drawings of the Anatomy and physiology of the internal structures of some LPS corals, but I was unsuccessful after extensive time involved... I think I understand that you want to know if those large heavy polyps are separated from each other or connected by sinuous channels so you know how to feed and care for it better. Good luck in caring for it. When I surf the web for research, I will definitely keep you in mind. Lobophyllia coral - Quality Marine Life
