Myriapora truncata, also known by its common name false coral is a species from the genus Myriapora.[2][3] The species was originally described by Peter Simon Pallas in 1766.
Description
Myriapora truncata is a common species on rocky environments from the water surface to a depth of 60 meter, where it forms calcareous colonies. It has a bright red colour which earned it its common name of "False coral".[2]
Ecology
Studies suggest that M. truncata seem well able to withstand the levels of ocean acidification predicted in the next 200 years.[4]
