Microscopic study of slides of Millepora platyphylla

Here are a few slides

RETRACTION: Millepora dichotoma is stable.

A familiar species.  I suspect that Millepora platyphylla, which I studied more extensively, and M. dichotoma partition their reproductive timing.  I observed this species to be in reproductive condition later in the summer, approaching fall.  M platyphylla's first event on Guam was in April,  or late March.

I will use this blog to write more about Millepora spp.

[So is M platyphylla on the red list, as "Least Concern" and stable.  I should look before I leap]
