| synonyms_ref = [2] }}Oulophyllia crispa, sometimes called the intermediate valley coral, is a species of stony coral in the family Merulinidae. It is native to the tropical western and central Indo-Pacific region. Although this coral has a wide range, it is generally uncommon and seems to be decreasing in abundance, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being "near threatened".[1] DescriptionColonies of this coral form massive hemispherical domes, stacks or plates that can be a metre (yard) or more across, but in the Red Sea, it seldom exceeds {{convert|20|cm|in|0}}. The corallites are arranged in broad meandering valleys with acute-edged ridges separating them. The septa are thin and evenly spaced, and slope uniformly to the central columella. The polyps only expand at night; they are large and fleshy and have white-tipped tentacles. The colour of this coral is usually some shade of brown, grey or green, sometimes with contrasting oral discs. This coral is somewhat similar in appearance to Platygyra daedalea.[2][3][4]Distribution and habitatThis coral is found in the tropical western and central Indo-Pacific region. Its range extends from the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and East Africa to Australia, Japan, the East China Sea and the island groups of the West Pacific Ocean. It is found on reefs at depths down to about {{convert|30|m|ft|-1}}, mostly occurring on subtidal rocks and in lagoons.[1] EcologyOulophyllia crispa is a zooxanthellate coral that has unicellular dinoflagellates embedded in its soft, transparent tissues. These use sunlight to create organic carbon molecules that the coral can use.[2] As this coral grows, the polyps do not divide completely, resulting in several mouths being present in each large corallite. Boring sponges (Cliona spp.), polychaete worms and bivalve molluscs bore holes into colonies of this coral, causing bioerosion.[5]References1. ^1 2 {{Cite journal | author = DeVantier, L. | author2 = Hodgson, G. | author3 = Huang, D. | author4 = Johan, O. | author5 = Licuanan, A. | author6 = Obura, D.O. | author7 = Sheppard, C. | author8 = Syahrir, M. | author9 = Turak, E. | title = Oulophyllia crispa | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2014 | page = e.T133200A54211359 | publisher = IUCN | date = 2014 | url = http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/133200/0 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2014-1.RLTS.T133200A54211359.en | access-date = 10 January 2018}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q3936633}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite WoRMS |author=Hoeksema, Bert |year=2015 |title=Oulophyllia crispa (Lamarck, 1816) |id=207485 |accessdate=2015-06-16}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://species-identification.org/species.php?species_group=corals&id=63&menuentry=groepen |title=Genus Oulophyllia |author1=Hoeksema, Bert |author2=van Ofwegen, L. |work=Reef Corals of the Indo-Malayan Seas |publisher=Marine Species Identification Portal |accessdate=2015-06-16}} 4. ^{{cite book|author1=Chang-feng Dai |author2=Sharon Horng|title=台灣石珊瑚誌|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a1BbduEf1EsC&pg=PA123 |year=2009 |publisher=國立臺灣大學出版中心 |isbn=978-986-01-8745-8 |page=123}} 5. ^{{cite journal |author=Highsmith, Raymond C. |year=1981 |title=Coral Bioerosion: Damage Relative to Skeletal Density |journal=The American Naturalist |volume=117 |issue=2 |pages=193–198 |jstor=2460500 |doi=10.1086/283698}} 2 : Merulinidae|Corals described in 1816 |
