Current status of Euphylliidae corals in marine protected areas of Tioman, Redang and Payar Islands, Malaysia

Recently, various conservation efforts of the Euphylliidae corals have been taken placed since these species are heavily targeted for the marine aquarium trade. In Malaysia, the information coverage, distribution and abundance patterns of these vulnerable and near threatened species are not fully do...
