Astrangia poculata, the northern star coral or northern cup coral, is a species of non-reefbuilding stony coral in the family Rhizangiidae. It is native to shallow water in the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It is also found on the western coast of Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists this coral as being of "least concern". Astrangia poculata is an emerging model organism for corals because it harbors a facultative photosymbiosis, is a calcifying coral, and has a large geographic range. Research on this emerging model system is showcased annually by the Astrangia Research Working Group, collaboratively hosted by Roger Williams University, Boston University, and Southern Connecticut State University

  • Astrangia poculata, the northern star coral or northern cup coral, is a species of non-reefbuilding stony coral in the family Rhizangiidae. It is native to shallow water in the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It is also found on the western coast of Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists this coral as being of "least concern". Astrangia poculata is an emerging model organism for corals because it harbors a facultative photosymbiosis, is a calcifying coral, and has a large geographic range.

  • Astrangia poculata, el coral estrella del norte o coral de la copa del norte, es una especie de coral no reconstituyente en la familia Rhizangiidae.​ Es nativa de aguas poco profundas en el océano Atlántico occidental y el mar Caribe. También se encuentra en la costa occidental de África. La Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza enumera a este coral como de "preocupación menor".​ (es)
  • Astrangia poculata (anciennement A. danae) est une espèce de coraux durs appartenant à la famille des Rhizangiidae. Cet animal marin hétérotrophe se nourrit de plancton qu'il attrape à l'aide de harpons nommés nématocystes, responsables de la sensation urticante caractéristique des cnidaires. Il peut aussi recevoir de l'énergie via une symbiose avec des microalgues photosynthétiques hébergées sous sa peau. (fr)
  • Astrangia poculata is een rifkoralensoort uit de familie van de Rhizangiidae. De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1786 door Ellis & Solander. (nl)
  • Astrangia poculata är en korallart som först beskrevs av Ellis och Daniel Solander 1786. Astrangia poculata ingår i släktet Astrangia och familjen Rhizangiidae. IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som livskraftig. Inga underarter finns listade i Catalogue of Life. (sv)
