Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> The genus <italic>Dendronephthya</italic> , a soft coral lacking zooxanthellae, is complex taxonomically and poorly documented in the Arabian Sea region. In this study, we collected and identified a colony fragment of <italic>Dendronephthya cf. sinaiensis</italic> from the Lakshadweep Archipelago, Arabian Sea. Morphological analysis of the shape of the colony, the pattern of polyp...
