Porites nodifera (Hump coral)

Synonyms: Madrepora clavaria; Porites clavaria

Wikipedia Abstract

Porites nodifera, also known as Dome Coral, is a species of stony coral in the Poritidae family. In the Persian Gulf, Porites spp., including Porites nodifera are the dominant corals present. This may be as a result of coral bleaching affecting Acropora spp. to a greater extent, and Porites filling in resulting gaps in the reef.
