Dichocoenia stokesi

''Dichocoenia stokesi'', commonly known as pineapple coral or elliptical star coral, is a species of stony coral in the family Meandrinidae. It is found in shallow parts of the Caribbean Sea, the Bahamas and southern Florida. Its form is a hemispherical hump. A rather similar species with a flatter form, the pancake star coral (''Dichocoenia stellaris''), is usually found in deeper water. Some authorities consider this to be a variant of ''Dichocoenia stokesi'' while others recognise it as a distinct species.〔
==Description==
''Dichocoenia stokesi'' is a massive colonial coral that forms rounded humps up to in diameter. It is recognisable by the fact that many of the corallites, the calcareous cups from which the polyps protrude, are oval or elongated. They can be up to long and only wide. Others are circular or Y-shaped and all have raised rims. The columella, the central axial structure in the corallite, is fragile and spongy. The polyps are large and well-separated with a diameter of about . The colour of pineapple coral can be white, cream, orange or yellowish-brown and the septo-costae, the little ridges that surround the corallites, are white. Sometimes two individual corals grow side by side and intertwine, forming one hump, but in these circumstances they do not fuse and each retains its original colour.〔
