Corals in the genus are among the major framework builders of reef structures worldwide, yet the genus has been challenging to study due to a lack of informative molecular markers. Here, we used ezRAD sequencing to reconstruct the complete mitochondrial genome of (GenBank accession number MG754069), a widespread coral species endemic to the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The gene arrangement of did not differ from other Scleractinia and consisted of 18,658 bp, organized in 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 tRNA genes. This mitochondrial genome contributes essential data to work towards a better understanding of evolutionary relationships within .
属的珊瑚是全球珊瑚礁结构的主要框架构建者之一，但由于缺乏信息丰富的分子标记，该属一直难以研究。在这里，我们使用ezRAD测序重建了（GenBank登录号MG754069）的完整线粒体基因组，这是一种红海和亚丁湾特有的广泛分布的珊瑚物种。的基因排列与其他石珊瑚目没有差异，由18,658个碱基对组成，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和2个转运RNA基因。这个线粒体基因组为更好地理解属内的进化关系提供了重要数据。
