This might explain the blurry distinction between skeletons of the different forms of Cynarina in some localities. I have seen some examples of Cynarina that had...

    What is Indophyllia? Indophyllia macassarensis is an uncommon import from Indonesia that is typically identified as Cynarina lacrymalis.
