Abstract / Introduction / Summary:
The poritid coral, Goniopora stokesi Milne Edwards and Haime, 1851 (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia: Scle- ractinia), is recorded based on specimens of coralla with unique skeletal morphology and reproductive manor, forming daughter colonies, collected from off Amami and Kakeroma islands, the Ryukyu Islands, Japan.
