We examined the genetic variation of the corallimorpharian Ricordea florida; it is distributed throughout the Caribbean region and is heavily harvested for the marine aquarium trade. Eighty-four distinct individuals of R. florida were sequenced from four geographically distant Caribbean locations (Curaçao, Florida, Guadeloupe, and Puerto Rico). Analysis of the ribosomal nuclear region (ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2) uncovered two geographically partially overlapping genetic lineages in R. florida, probably representing ...

Corallimopharians are a group of anthozoans that can rapidly monopolise patches of shallow water substrate on tropical coral reefs and persist as the dominant benthos after frequent disturbances (Chadwick-Furman and Spiegel 2000).One factor contributing to the ability to rapidly colonize available substrate is the diverse range of asexual reproductive strategies displayed by various corallimorphs, including pedal laceration, longitudinal fission and inverse or marginal
