Parascolymia vitiensis (single calice specimens) [29,37], Parascolymia ampla (n = 13) [40,42,43,57], Parascolymia (Circophyllia) farquharsoni (n = 1) [51], Lithophyllia detrita (n = 11) [39]. The corallum of P. vitiensis is described without exact length measurements. The information that single calice specimens typically may reach 25 cm length has not been verified [36]. Similarly, the length of Lithophyllia detrita is not documented.
