- Info lesser valley coral (Platygyra daedalea), Ras Muhammad National Park, Egypt. This stony coral is present in various reef environments, particularly on back reef slopes, from subtidal rocks down to about 30 metres (100 ft). This brain coral is an aggressive coral and seeks to prevent competitors from overshadowing it. The polyps of P. daedalea expand at night to catch planktonic particles floating by. However, this coral obtains most of its nourishment from the dinoflagellates known as zooxanthellae it houses within its tissues. These provide organic carbon and nitrogen, the products of photosynthesis, to their host. To benefit from this symbiotic arrangement, P. daedalea needs to grow in shallow, sunlit environments. Note: we have no FPs of genus Platygyra. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 18:22, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
