| The coral Siderastraea radians (Pallas, 1766) currently lives in Atlantic tropical regions of the Americas and Africa: between Brazil (Laborel, 1971), the Caribbean Sea and Bermuda islands (Verril, 1907) on the one side; and on the other, between Liberia and Cameroon; in Bioko, Sao Tom¿e and Annobom (Pagalu) islands and in Cape Verde (Laborel, 1974). This coral is round, spheroidal or hemispheroidal, generally characterized by irregular masses that range between 5 and 12 cm in size, but sometimes can reach 50 cm in diameter. It lives in very shallow waters and intertidal zones. In the Canary Islands, S. radians has been found within marine deposits at the following localities: Tachero, Tenerife (Garc¿?a Talavera et al., 1978); Las Playitas, Fuerteventura (Zibrowius & Brito, 1986; Meco, 1986); La Santa, Lanzarote (Meco et al., 2003; 2006) and San Crist¿obal, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Meco et al., 2006). Some specimens from La Santa have diameters of as much as half a meter | |
