Abstract

The known geographical distribution of the colonial scleractinian coral Cladopsammia rolandi Lacaze-Duthiers, 1897 has been extended with new records from the Adriatic Sea. This Mediterranean endemic scleractinian coral was found in spring 2002 on the cliff at the south of Lastovo Island and in summer 2005 on the two locations at the south-west of Mljet Island (South Adriatic). The new records reported here are the first confirmation of C. rolandi presently living in the Adriatic Sea.
