''Cladocora caespitosa'', commonly known as madrepora a cuscino, madrepora pagnotta (Coral loaf) or "cushion coral", is a stony coral of the subclass Hexacorallia. This species forms the only true coral reef in the Mediterranean Sea. == Description ==
The polyps are a clear maroon colour, around 5 mm in diameter and form cushion-shaped colonies, in symbiosis with Zooxanthella algae. They produce deposits of calcium carbonate which form the calciate structures in which they live. It is the largest stony coral in the Mediterranean, reaching up to 50 cm in diameter. ''C. caespitosas'' have an average generation length of about 30 years.〔
