ABSTRACT:
On global record the family faviidae is the 2nd largest under the order scleractinia. A total of 88 species of faviids were recorded from entire Andaman and Nicobar Islands, of which a maximum of 85 species (H’: 5.96) at South Andaman, whereas the minimum was recorded from Nicobar with 49 species (H’:5.13). Though the variation in species composition, diversity, density and evenness varied between study areas, the results showed significance on the health status of the recorded species under the family faviidae.
