Tubipora is a genus of octocoral that lives in colonies of soft coral polyps embedded in a matrix, hard calcium carbonate external skeleton with a structure that resembles organ pipes.Some sources recognize a single species in the genus, T. musica (Wikipedia 2014; Catalogue of Life 2014) although others suggest caution stating that in many regions unidentified species may be confused with the commonly identified T. musica (Australian Biological Resources Study 2013).WORMS references five Tubipora species (van Ofwegen 2014).
