Info

Unfortunately, there is not so much worth reporting about Lobophytum variatum, known is its green-white coloration and the fact that it likes to live on shallow plateaus.
In our research only one depth release (17.9 meters depth, Hiroshima, Japan, on 3. 7.2015) was found,.
Information on the size of the coral is lacking as well as complete information on biology and water depth.

Maybe a diving user can contribute valuable missing data here.

Our special thanks for the first photo of this soft coral species goes to Dr. Yukimitsu Imahara, Wakayama Laboratory, Biological Institute on Kuroshio, Japan.

Synonym: Lobophytum oblongum Tixier-Durivault, 1956
