The short term exposure (4 days) was done to Fungia fungites using different concentration of Irgarol to establish the health effects of this species by measuring their fatty acid composition. It was done by comparing fatty acid composition of the fresh, control and exposed groups. The results indicated that, fresh and control samples of F. fungites were not significant different (p > 0.05) and dominated by Saturated Fatty Acids (SAFA) followed by Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) and the Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA). However, trends of other tested groups (20, 100 and 500 μg/L) were significant different (p < 0.05), with species suffered more as the dose of chemicals increased. For example, α-Linolenic acid (C18:3ω3) was not detected in F. fungites which exposed in this biocide at 100 and 500 μg/L whereas C20:5ω3 was not detected in all exposed groups. These ecotoxicological data proved that Irgarol may affect the fatty acids composition of coral reef organisms even if exposed at the low levels of this biocide.
