Layang-Layang is a small island part of an oceanic atoll in the Spratly Islands off Sabah, Malaysia. As the reef coral fauna in this part of the South China Sea is poorly known, a survey was carried out in 2013 to study the species composition of the scleractinian coral families   Fungiidae  ,   Agariciidae   and   Euphylliidae  . A total of 56 species was recorded. The addition of three previously reported coral species brings the total to 59, consisting of 32   Fungiidae  , 22   Agariciidae  , and five   Euphylliidae  . Of these, 32 species are new records for Layang-Layang, which include five rarely reported species, i.e., the fungiids    Lithophyllon   ranjithi   ,    Podabacia   sinai   ,    Sandalolitha   boucheti   , and the agariciids    Leptoseris   kalayaanensis    and    L.   troglodyta   . The coral fauna of Layang-Layang is poor compared to other areas in Sabah, which may be related to its recovery from a crown-of-thorns seastar outbreak in 2010, and its low habitat diversity, which is dominated by reef slopes consisting of steep outer walls. Based on integrative molecular and morphological analyses, a    Pavona    variety with small and extremely thin coralla was revealed as    P.   maldivensis   . Since specimens from Sabah previously identified as    P.   maldivensis    were found to belong to    P.   explanulata   , the affinities and distinctions of    P.   maldivensis    and    P.   explanulata    are discussed.
