Info

Oulangia bradleyi is an azooxanthellate large polyp stony coral that occurs solitary or also as a colony, the colonies are formed by budding.

The thecae are usually heavily encrusted with bryozoans and calcareous algae to the edge of the calicula.
Oulangia bradleyi is easily distinguished from the numerous other eastern Pacific Rhizangiidae by its relatively large size and greater number of septa.

The septa are arranged in five cycles.

Oulangia bradleyi does not belong to the reef-building stony corals!

Synonym: Ulangia bradleyi Verrill, 1866
