Abstract

When you try to identify zooxanthellate scleractinian corals, you are faced with two general types of problems. One is the difficulty of coral identification. The other is the ongoing revision of coral taxonomy. A group of scleractinian coral identifiers in Japan, i.e., the ‘Japanese Society for Coral Taxonomy’, has been trying to resolve these problems. We will introduce our efforts and approaches here.
