It is native to the Indo-Pacific region, being found in the eastern Indian Ocean, northern Australia, the South China Sea and the western Pacific Ocean. It is a zooxanthellate coral that houses symbiont dinoflagellates in its tissues. It is an uncommon species and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has rated it as a "vulnerable" species. DescriptionIts colonies contain upright fronds that are not folded uniformly and contain inclined tube-shaped corallites. Its corallites have {{convert|5|mm}} openings of elliptical shapes. It is green, grey or brown in colour.[3] T. patula is a zooxanthellate coral and houses symbiont dinoflagellates in its tissues.[1] DistributionFigures of its population are unknown but are considered to be decreasing, but is likely to be threatened by the global reduction of coral reefs, the increase of temperature causing coral bleaching, climate change, human activity, parasites, and disease. It is an uncommon species throughout most of its range and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being "vulnerable".[1] The species is common in some subtropical areas and is found at depths of between {{convert|7|and|20|m}} in shallow rocky regions and inshore reefs. It occurs in the eastern Indian Ocean, northern Australia, the South China Sea and the northwestern, western, and western central Pacific Ocean. Ten species were exported in 2005 for aquariums.[1] TaxonomyIt was described as Gemmipora patula by James Dwight Dana in 1846. Synonyms include Gemmipora patula, Turbinaria bankae, Turbinaria cupula, Turbinaria fungiformis, and Turbinaria robusta.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite journal | author = Hoeksema, B.W. | author2 = Rogers, A. | author3 = Quibilan, M.C. | title = Turbinaria patula | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2008 | page = e.T133177A3616117 | publisher = IUCN | date = 2008 | url = http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/133177/0 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2008.RLTS.T133177A3616117.en | access-date = 11 January 2018}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q3948324}}2. ^1 2 {{cite WoRMS |author=Hoeksema, B. |year=2015 |title=Turbinaria patula (Dana, 1846) |id=289212 |accessdate=2015-04-19 }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://coral.aims.gov.au/factsheet.jsp?speciesCode=0355|title=Turbinaria patula|publisher=Australian Institute of Marine Science|accessdate=2015-08-16}} 2 : Dendrophylliidae|Corals described in 1846 |
