Pocillopora
''Pocillopora'', is a genus of stony corals in the family Pocilloporidae occurring in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.〔Veron, J.E.N. (2000) Corals of the World. Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townville, Australia.〕 They are commonly called cauliflower corals and brush corals. ==Description== Cauliflower corals are widespread and can be identified by the presence of wart-like growths on their surface. The colonies can be dome shaped or branching and are very variable in colour and shape depending on the species and the environmental conditions. Species situated on shallow reefs pounded by the sea tend to be stunted whilst those in deep calm water are often thin and open. Each individual polyp has tentacles but these are normally extended only at night.〔Veron, J.E.N. (1986) Corals of Australia and the Indo-Pacific. Angus & Robertson Publishers, London, UK.〕
