Coral reefs are one of the important ecosystems in India. Major coral families of Gulf of mannar
such as Acroporidae, Pocilloporidae, Poridae were collected. The above reef building corals
harboured 51 numbers of molluscan species during this study. Pteria chinensis, Ostrea sp,
Nerita rumphi and Cypraea tigris were noted from the study area. The gastropods are mostly
associated with the coral reefs than the bivalves. The present study will reveal the diversity of
molluscan fauna harbored in the different habitat of corals.
