The collection of a dead specimen of the coral Heterocyathus cf. sulcatus on a sandy beach in southern Odisha highlights the importance of exploring offshore waters along this coast. The specimen was identified based on prominent taxonomic characters and association with coral boring worm. This genus was previously known to occur along the eastern coast of India, from the Gulf of Mannar/Palk Bay and off the Chennai coast. The presence of rocky offshore outcrops and a sandy substratum in the vicinity suggests that the specimen likely originated from that location. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
