Madracis auretenra
''Madracis auretenra'', commonly known as the yellow finger coral or yellow pencil coral, is a colonial species of stony coral in the family Astrocoeniidae. It is a fairly common species and is found in the Caribbean Sea and western Atlantic Ocean. At one time this species was not recognised, but it was split from ''Madracis mirabilis'' on the grounds of morphology and depth range.
==Taxonomy==
In 2007, Locke, Weil & Coates erected a new species of ''Madracis'' coral from the Caribbean Sea and named it ''Madracis auretenra''. They distinguished between this species and ''Madracis mirabilis'' (Duchassaing & Michelotti 1860), a deep-water species, on the grounds of the new species' thin-branched, dendritic structure, and its depth range (). Other characteristics that distinguished the new species from others include the presence of base skeletal structures devoid of living tissue, a fairly smooth coenosteum, a distinct line of spines between the corallites, and the absence of secondary septa in the closely spaced corallites. In erecting this species they pointed out that "Authors of many recent studies on ''Madracis mirabilis sensu Wells'' will need to reconsider and reconfirm the identities of their study organisms".
