Catalaphyllia is a monotypic genus of stony coral in the family Euphylliidae from the western Pacific Ocean. It is represented by a single species, Catalaphyllia jardinei, commonly known as elegance coral (or wonder coral, ridge coral).[2] It was first described by William Saville-Kent in 1893 as Pectinia jardinei.[3]
Because of its unique and beautiful look, this coral is popular in reef tanks.[2] It is an overexploited species collected in large quantities from the wild for the aquarium trade.[1]
