Hello, I was just interested as to what species are included in the “homophyllia” category. Is it just Australis and bowerbanki or does this include hillae as well? I tried doing some research and got mixed results. Thanks!

Very interesting. Thanks for the answer!@ISpeakForTheSeas
Yes if this paper is still valid:
"A. hillae is synonymized with A. bowerbanki and is transferred to Homophyllia, and a revised diagnosis for both genera is provided."

According to WoRMS, it's still valid (WoRMS is usually right [Edit: should probably have said up to date taxonomically]; I've only seen it wrong/contended a handful of times so far).@ISpeakForTheSeas
