}} Diploria is a monotypic genus of massive reef building stony corals in the family Mussidae.[3][4][5][6] It is represented by a single species, Diploria labyrinthiformis, commonly known as grooved brain coral and is found in the western Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea.[7][2][8][9] It has a familiar, maze-like appearance. DescriptionThis species of reef-building coral has a hemispherical, brain-like shape with a brown, yellow, or gray colour.[8] It has characteristic deep, interconnected double-valleys. These polyp-bearing valleys are each separated by grooved ambulacral ridges. There may be a difference in colour between the valleys and the grooves.[10] Diploria labyrinthiformis can grow upward at a rate of approximately 3.5 millimeters per year, achieving about {{convert|2|m|ft|abbr=off}} in diameter. During its planktonic larval stage, the coral has locomotion. After that time, it becomes permanently sessile.[11]This species is a suspension feeder, and survives mainly on zooplankton and bacteria. These are captured by the polyps, by extruding mesenterial filaments and tentaces. The polyps have nematocysts which are triggered to hold their prey immobile. The prey is then transported to the mouth with the assistance of mucus and cilia.[11] Diploria labyrinthiformis is hermaphroditic, and reproduces through brooding. This entails the egg being fertilized by the sperm within the polyp, followed by the release of the larvae.[11]Distribution and habitatDiploria labyrinthiformis is found in tropical parts of the west Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, the southern tip of Florida, the Bahamas, Bermuda and the coasts of Central America.[1][2][12]This coral occurs offshore at depths ranging from {{convert|1|to|30|m|ft|abbr=off}}.[11] Relationships with other speciesSymbioticDiploria labyrinthiformis hosts Zooxanthella, a symbiotic dinoflagellate alga. The alga benefits from being in a protective environment in an elevated position. The coral benefits from the nutrients produced photosynthetically by the alga which provides part of its needs for growth and calcification.[11]The coral also has a relationship with Diadema antillarum, the long-spined urchin, whose grazing helps to reduce the effects of shading, as well as the overgrowth of macroalgae.[11] PredatorsDespite the polyps being equipped with nematocysts, various species prey upon Diploria labyrinthiformis. These include:[11]
ParasitesThis species is host to a parasite in the Corallovexiidae family:[2]
Postage stampsImages of Diploria labyrinthiformis appear on two postage stamps: a 75 cent Belizian stamp created by Georges Declercq,[13] and a 54 Euro cent stamp from Mayotte.[14] See also
