''Millepora complanata'', commonly known as blade fire coral, is a species of fire coral in the family Milleporidae. It is found in shallow waters in the Caribbean Sea where it is a common species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern". ==Description== Fire corals are colonial coral-like organisms that secrete calcareous skeletons. Colonies of ''Millepora complanata'' have an encrusting base and thin upright plates or blades growing to a height of about . The surface of the blades is smooth and the outer margins irregular, with many stumpy protrusions. This fire coral is pale brown or cream coloured, with white tips to the blades. The feeding and defensive polyps are hair-like and project through fine pores on the surface of the blades. Contact with this fire coral by bare skin can cause a severe stinging sensation.
