Psammocora are small polyp stony (SPS) corals in the Psammocoridae family. There are approximately 8 species of Psammocora known at this time. In general, corals coming from the genus Psammocora are known to initially grow in an encrusting form. After they have encrusted much of the surface they are growing on, they will start to grow branches that are usually thick and spread throughout their entire colony. When their polyps are retracted, they can easily be identified through their grainy appearance that looks like sandpaper. Thus, their nickname is “Sandpaper corals.” |
