Description Colour in life: deep pink centre to disc grading through white to light purple arm tips (Humphreys, 1981). Description: colour greenish brown, usually with darker blotches (one specimen is red); five armed (one specimen from Gesira with seven arms); single madreporite. Variable for morphological and physiological features (Tortonese, 1980).
Fissiparity rarely occurs in Somalia, although it is much more frequent in the Red Sea and other regions (Tortonese, 1980).
Also recorded in SE Arabia, Persian Gulf, W Indian, Pakistan, Maldive area, Ceylon Bay of Bengal East Indies, north Australia, Philippine, China, south Japan, South Pacific Is. and Hawaiian Is. (Clark & Rowe, 1971); Lakshadweep (India)(Sastry, 1991).
General distribution: tropical Indo-Pacific in Kalk (1958); from the Red Sea to Hawaii (Tortonese, 1980); East coast of Africa to Hawaiian Islands (Sastry, 1991). [details]
