Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Meandrina danai are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Meandrina danai, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Meandrina danai, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Info

Meandrina danai (Milne Edwards & Haime, 1848)

“From Veron, J.E.N. Corals of the World.”

Characters: Colonies are mostly free living. They have short flabello-meandroid valleys with wavy margins. Colonies may consist of one valley or a few valleys radiating from the original point of growth. Septo-costae tend to be in two neatly alternating orders.

Colour: Tan or yellowish-brown.

Habitat: Clear protected water with horizontal or rubble substrates.

Abundance: Sometimes locally common.

Taxonomic note: The validity of Meandrina braziliensis as distinct from M. meandrites may be artificial. Source reference: Veron (2000). Taxonomic reference: Laborel (1969). Additional identification guide: Hetzel and Castro (1994).
