ID: 517
Class: Morphological
Description:
The diameter of the polyp. Different authors give different measurements and proxies for this trait (e.g., some report the size of the contracted polyps, while others report the size of the entire polyp, including tentacles or do not specify it). Thus, observation notes in the database and original sources should be checked when using this trait for comparative analyses among species.
