480-481
Three species of reef building corals: Porites (Porites) lutea, Favites pentagona and Turbinaria mesenterina were recorded near Grandi Island, off Marmugao (Goa, India). The coral patch was observed at a depth of 3 m. This is the first report of hermatypic corals along the Goa Coast. A non-reef building solitary coral of the Atlantic region Astrangia sp. was also recorded and could have been introduced in Indian waters due to maritime activities. |
