Millepora boschmai is a species of fire coral. It was previously catalogued in two protected areas in Panama, the Coiba National Park and the Golfo de Chiriquí National Park.[3]
This species was typically found in upper, forereef slopes to deep sand and rubble slopes but they were most abundant at the reef base and deeper outer slopes.[4]
Conservation status
Although this species was previously classified as Possibly Extinct by the IUCN in 2008,[3] this species is still poorly understood, and therefore was given the Data Deficient category in 2024. However, it is still considered rare.[1]
