OBS

Taxonomie et biologie des coraux. Anatomie des Scléractiniaires. Le squelette. Le polype sécrète en sa partie inférieure un exosquelette de carbonate de calcium, le polypiérite, [qui] comprend à sa partie inférieure une lame calcaire, le plateau basal, d'où s'élève verticalement la thèque. Ces deux éléments délimitent une cavité, le lumen, divisé par des cloisons calcaires, les septes, qui se prolongent à l'extérieur de la thèque par les côtes. La partie axiale du polype est occupée par une structure squelettique verticale, la columelle. La partie supérieure du polypiérite, limitée par la thèque, porte le nom de calice.
