Diagnosis Corallum colonial, sympodial in growth form; coenosteum dense, no costae; axial corallites absent; corallites filled internally with stereome; P2 sometimes present; columella spongy of absent. [details]Remark Madrepora was the genus name on which the ordinal name Madreporaria (first suggested by Milne Edwards, 1857) was based. Van der Land (2003) graphed the chronological replacement of the popular use of the name Madreporaria with Scleractinia (first proposed by Bourne, 1900), the change over occurring in about 1965. This is one of the approximately dozen species of framework building deep-water corals, and also one of about a dozen species with a cosmopolitan distribution. Five Recent species (Cairns et al., 1999) and about 30 nominal fossil species (Filkorn, 1994). [details]
