Definition
A member of the family Astraeidae, a group of corals found in tropical and subtropical waters.
Etymology
From Astraea (a genus name in the coral family) plus -id (suffix forming names of members of a family or group), creating a scientific classification term.
Kelly Says
The star corals called Astraeidae are named after the goddess Astraea because their surfaces look like scattered stars—scientists sometimes use mythological names to capture the beauty of what they're describing!
