Skeletal rigidity

ID: 632

Class: Biomechanical

Description:

The rigidity of a coral colony or individual, based on the type of skeleton. Allowed values are: Soft (i.e., species with just a hydrostatic skeleton in which the whole colony is capable of retracting or deflating or greatly changing its volume), Semi-rigid (i.e., species with an axis in which the colony itself is not capable of retraction/deflation) and rigid (i.e., species with a totally hard skeleton that is heavily calcified).
