Abstract |
Coral reef is an ecosystem built by calcium-producing marine biota, especially corals. One of the reef-building corals (hermatypic) is Faviidae that is distributed in almost all territories of Indonesia. This study was carried out in the reef flat of Bahowo, Tongkaina, Manado. Data collections used the sampling method with quadrat. There were 6 genera of Faviidae recorded in this study, Favia, Favites, Goniastrea, Leptoria, Montastrea, and Platygyra with clumped distribution patterns. |
