Presence of calcareous biogenic tubes on coral Madracis myriaster structure (Scleractinia: Pocilloporidae) from deep-water in Colombian Caribbean.Abstract
A large number of branches from the scleractinian coral Madracis myriaster, collected in deep waters of the Colombian Caribbean, showed both inside and around the skeleton calcareous structures constructed by tubiculous organisms. Here, based on the growth strategy of the coral and the physical conditions of deep-water areas, we describe the functional effect of the tube structures on deep coral frameworks formation and growth.Un gran número de ramas de los myriaster escleractinios Madracis de coral, recolectados en aguas profundas del Caribe colombiano, demostró tanto en el interior y alrededor de las estructuras calcáreas esqueleto construido por los organismos tubiculous. Aquí, sobre la base de la estrategia de crecimiento de los corales y las condiciones físicas de las zonas de aguas profundas, se describe el efecto funcional de las estructuras de tubo en la formación de corales de profundidad marcos y el crecimiento.
