From editor or global species database

Comparison Tarbellastraea is morphologically most similar to Antiguastrea; both genera are plocoid with extracalicular budding, and have thin costae, a tabulo-vesicular coenosteum, and a lamellar columella. Tarbellastraea differs from Antiguastrea by having more coenosteum, smaller corallites, fewer septal cycles, and prominent primary septa. Tarbellastraea is also similar to the Montastraea annularis complex in colony form, but differs by having a lamellar columella, thin costae, and partially vesicular coenosteum. It is assigned to the Family Merulinidae based on its similarity to the Montastraea annularis complex. [details]

Diagnosis Plocoid colonies; extracalicular budding; cylindrical corallites, < 3.5 mm in diameter; septo- to parathecal; 3-4 septal cycles, with the first cyle being prominent; weak or absent paliform lobes; sublamellar to lamellar columella; thin costae; tabulo-vesicular coenosteum. [details]

Remark The micromorphology and microstructure of Tarbellastraea have not been studied in detail. For additional description, see Budd, Bosellini, and Stemann (1996) [details]
