A corallite of Galaxea fascicularis, showing exsert septa (*) protruding from the wall of the corallite and encircling the oral disc. Scale bar = 2 mm. Figure 2. Granular nanocrystals located upon the distal growth edge of a Gulnxeu fcucicularis exsert septum. Scale bar = 100 nm. Figure 3. Granular nanocrystals observed upon a septum of an axial corallite of Acropora formosa. Scale bar = 100 nm. Figure 4. Highly ordered acicular crystals at the distal edge of a Galaxea fascicular

Highly ordered acicular crystals at the distal edge of a Galaxea fascicularis exsert septum. Scale bar = 500 nm. Figure 5. Fasciculi, composed of distinct clusters of similarly oriented acicular crystals, constituting much of the distal surface of a Galaxea fascicularis exsert septum. Scale bar = 5 jum. Figure 6.
