Paragoniastrea
This genus is established based on a combination of molecular and
morphological evidence from Huang et al. (2011)), Arrigoni, Stefani,
Pichon, Galli, and Benzoni (2012), and Huang, Benzoni, Fukami,
et al. (2014). The three members of this genus are: P. peresi (Faure &
Pichon, 1978) previously known as Goniastrea peresi; P. salebrosa
(Nemenzo, 1959) which is previously a member of genus Plesiastrea;
and P. serageldini (Veron, 2000) which is previously Montastraea
serageldini.
It was assigned to Merulinidae by Khalil et al. (2021).
