Abstract

The known geographical distribution of the colonial scleractinian coral Cladocora debilis has been extended with a new record from the eastern Adriatic Sea. This scleractinian coral was found in spring 2002 on the cliff at the south of Lastovo Island (south Adriatic). The new record reported here is the first confirmation of C. debilis presently living in the Adriatic Sea.
