No full textPleuractis taiwanensis Hoeksema & Dai, 1991 (Fig. 5G) Fungia taiwanensis – Turak & DeVantier, 2011: 139. This free-living species is rare at Brunei: recorded only at north Pelong Rocks (Table 2).Published as part of Hoeksema, Bert W. & Lane, David J. W., 2014, The mushroom coral fauna (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) of Brunei Darussalam (South China Sea) and its relation to the Coral Triangle, pp. 566-580 in Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 62 on page 576, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.535457

No full textCtenactis albitentaculata Hoeksema, 1989 (Fig. 6A) Ctenactis albitentaculata – Turak & DeVantier, 2011: 140. This free-living species is common at Brunei: recorded at 13 out of 17 sites (Table 2). Occasionally, clusters of 3– 6 specimens were observed, all with tentacles extended.Published as part of Hoeksema, Bert W. & Lane, David J.

Pedicularia vanderlandi spec. nov., a symbiotic snail (Caenogastropoda: Ovulidae) on the hydrocoral Distichopora vervoorti Cairns & Hoeksema, 1998 (Hydrozoa: Stylasteridae), from Bali, Indonesia
No full textA new species of ovulid gastropod is described from Bali as Pedicularia vanderlandi spec. nov. It was predominantly found in shallow water on the stylasterid hydrocoral Distichopora vervoorti Cairns & Hoeksema, 1998. The snails are compared with type specimens of congeneric taxa and with material of Pedicularia pacifica Pease, 1865, which was found in shallow water on an unidentified Stylaster. Various notes on Indo Pacific Pedicularia species are given in an annotated, preliminary check-list. Finally, the host relationships of Pedicularia are discussed in general
Cycloseris mokai
No full textCycloseris mokai (Hoeksema, 1989) (Fig. 4C) Lithophyllon mokai – Turak & DeVantier, 2011: 145. This encrusting species is uncommon at Brunei: recorded at 6 out of 17 sites (Table 2).Published as part of Hoeksema, Bert W. & Lane, David J. W., 2014, The mushroom coral fauna (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) of Brunei Darussalam (South China Sea) and its relation to the Coral Triangle, pp. 566-580 in Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 62 on page 569, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.535457
Lithophyllon ranjithi Ditlev 2003
No full textLithophyllon ranjithi Ditlev, 2003 Lithophyllon lobata – Turak & DeVantier, 2011: 145. One colour photograph of a live specimen published by Turak & DeVantier (2011) was taken in Indonesia; the origin of other photographs is unclear. They present this species as L. lobata, a junior synonym of L. undulatum (see Hoeksema, 1989). The syntypes of L. lobata are large, thin, twirled foliaceous corals with thin septa and mouths scattered over the whole upper surface, whereas specimens of L. ranjithi are thick laminar corals in one plane with folded margins, thick septa, and mouths concentrated at the centre of the upper surface. L. ranjithi is known from East Sabah and East Kalimantan (Ditlev, 2003; Hoeksema et al., 2004; Waheed & Hoeksema, 2013), and it has also been observed in the Kudat region at north Sabah and at Layang-Layang atoll in the South China Sea (Waheed & Hoeksema, in prep.). It was not found at the reefs of Kota Kinabalu (Waheed & Hoeksema, 2014), which are only about 150 km away from Brunei in a NE direction.Published as part of Hoeksema, Bert W. & Lane, David J.

Cycloseris vaughani
No full textCycloseris vaughani (Boschma, 1923) (Fig. 3K) Not Cycloseris vaughani – Turak & DeVantier, 2011: 129 (= Cycloseris costulata). This free-living species is rare at Brunei: recorded only at Colombo Reef, Champion Shoal (Table 2). The lower order costae are larger and sharper than in its congeners. The species has a patchy greyish-brown colour, usually with a radiating pattern (Fig. 2K; Hoeksema, 1989; Hoeksema & Van Ofwegen, 2004). The specimens illustrated by Turak & DeVantier (2011) are wrongly identified.Published as part of Hoeksema, Bert W. & Lane, David J. W., 2014, The mushroom coral fauna (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) of Brunei Darussalam (South China Sea) and its relation to the Coral Triangle, pp. 566-580 in Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 62 on page 570, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.535457
Herpolitha limax
No full textHerpolitha limax (Esper, 1797) (Fig. 6D) Herpolitha limax – Chou et al., 1987: 47; Turak & DeVantier, 2011: 141. Herpolitha weberi – Turak & DeVantier, 2011: 142. This free-living species is very common at Brunei: recorded at 16 out of 17 sites (Table 2). H. weberi is a junior synonym of H. limax (see Hoeksema, 1989).Published as part of Hoeksema, Bert W. & Lane, David J.
