Oculina

Oculina is a genus of colonial stony coral in the family Oculinidae.

These corals are mostly found in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and Bermuda[2] but some species occur in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

[1] The colonies of Oculina have a straggly branching structure and are mostly pale yellow.

The branches are slim, not exceeding 1 centimetre (0.4 in) in diameter.

Each corallite has 12 primary septa with fine teeth which partially project from the corallite wall and which are larger than the intermediate septa.
