A plankton sampling program was designed for the capture of coral planulae. More than 250 surface tows were made with a small, fine-mesh net along 5 transects established near the southeast fringing reef of Coconut Island, Oahu, Hawaii. Time between collection and sorting was minimized, and low temperature storage was employed in lieu of chemical fixation to prevent decomposition of the planulae prior to identification. More than 20,000 cnidarian larvae were collected and sorted, of which 90 % were scleractinian planulae. Twelve different types of cnidarian larvae were recognized. Six were identified as the planulae of the corals Pocillopora damicornis, Porites compressa, Montipora verrucosa, M. dilitata, Cyphastrea ocellina and Fungia scutaria. Two appear to be the zoanthina larvae of the zoanthids Palythoa vestitus and Zoanthus pacificus. Peak recovery of planulae generally occurred 3 to 7 d after onset of spawning or planulation. Limited data indicate that some coral planulae may undertake diurnal migration, residing near the surface at night and moving to several meters depth during the day. The potential for the export of large numbers of coral planulae from Kaneohe Bay is considered high, but whether this export is significant to recruitment on reefs outside the bay remains to be determined.
