Molecular sequence data have previously revealed the existence of cryptic species associated with the    Pocillopora    ‘damicornis   -like’ coral. Recently, this species complex has been reclassified into three species including the resurrected    P.   acuta   , which appears to have a wide distribution. Morphological characteristics described for    P.   acuta    are present in corals previously identified as    Pocillopora   damicornis   . To determine if the    Pocillopora    ‘damicornis   -like’ colonies on Singapore’s reefs are    P.   acuta   ,    P.   damicornis   , or both, we examined a new collection of    Pocillopora    using mitochondrial DNA data and morphology. We also compared specimen morphologies from past collections and examined the known regional distributions of both species. Our analyses show that most    Pocillopora    ‘damicornis   -like’ corals in Singapore are    P.   acuta    instead of    P.   damicornis   . Findings here are important for coral diversity records in Singapore and will help clarify distributional limits of morphologically similar    Pocillopora    species.

New evidence shows that    Pocillopora    ‘     damicornis   -like’ corals in Singapore are actually    Pocillopora   acuta    (  Scleractinia  :   Pocilloporidae  )
