Sentences with MILLEPORA (5)
Next, but much inferior in importance to the Porites, is the _Millepora complanata_.[1] It grows in thick vertical plates, intersecting each other at various angles, and forms an exceedingly strong honeycombed mass, which generally affects a circular form, the marginal plates alone being alive.
Between these plates and in the protected crevices on the reef, a multitude of branching zoophytes and other productions flourish, but the Porites and Millepora alone seem able to resist the fury of the breakers on its upper and outer edge: at the depth of a few fathoms other kinds of stony corals live.
Many small fragments, however, of _Millepora alcicornis_ were brought up; and on the arming from an eight-fathom cast, there was a perfect impression of an Astræa, apparently alive.
Fragments of the _Millepora alcicornis_ and of an Astræa were also numerous; the former is found, but not in proportionate numbers, in the hollows on the reef; but the Astræa I did not see living.
