Only two species of this genus have been distinguished in shallow-water environments along the Brazilian coast: <i>A. solitaria</i> (Le Sueur, 1817) and <i>A. rathbuni</i> Vaughan, 1906. Here, we describe a new, blue <i>Astrangia</i> species from the northeastern Brazilian coast. Scanning electron microscopy images of the corallites supported the taxonomic analysis and the description of the new species. Early confused with <i>Astrangia woodsi</i> Wells, 1955, an incrusting coral with blue-gray polyps, the new species is a zooxanthellate, solitary brooding coral and can easily be recognized in biofouling communities because of its solitary shape instead of the colonial development of <i>A. woodsi</i>. The new species was observed on artificial substrates, co-occurring with non-native invertebrates, such as the bryozoan <i>Triphyllozoon arcuatum</i> (MacGillivray, 1889), and “sun corals” of the genus <i>Tubastraea</i> Lesson 1830). This is the second <i>Astrangia</i> species reported from Brazil, updating the inventory for the entire South Atlantic to five recorded species. Its reproduction mode as a brooder was determined through histological examination, showing embryos in the mesenteries. A key to all extant <i>Astrangia</i> species is provided together with an infographic about its distribution and environmental preferences across the globe.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"A new blue <i>Astrangia</i> coral (Scleractinia) from the Southwestern Atlantic","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-05 01:31:34.598286","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2023,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2023-11-27","DateCreate":"2023-11-27","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:001106859100002","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1007/s12526-023-01377-6"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":369005,"PubliDate":2023,"Pagination":"78","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"53","Issue":"6","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":141757,"SerRR":"Marine Biodiversity.
