Anthozoa - Scleractinia - Actinastreidae

Taxonomy
Astrea crassoramosa was named by Michelin (1844) [the species name was originally spelled crasso-ramosa, which needs to be corrected into crassoramosa according to ICZN]. It is not extant.

It was recombined as Enallocoenia crassoramosa by D'Orbigny (1849), d'Orbigny (1850), Beauvais (1966), Pandey and Fürsich (2005); it was recombined as Astrocoenia crassoramosa by Milne-Edwards and Haime (1857), de Fromentel (1861); it was recombined as Actinastrea crassoramosa by Geyer (1955), Geyer (1965), Prinz (1991), Kiessling et al. (2011).
