ID: 542
Class: Morphological
Description:
The height of the polyp (sometimes referred as length). Different authors give different measurements and proxies for this trait (e.g., some report the size of the contracted polyps, whereas others report the size of the entire polyp, including tentacles). In some cases, this information is not given. Number of measured replicates is often lacking as well. Thus, observation notes in the database and original sources should be checked when using this trait for comparative analyses among species.
