Distribution and status of living colonies of spp. in the reef crests of a protected marine area of the Caribbean (Jardines de la Reina National Park, Cuba).

The reef crests of the Jardines de la Reina National Park (JRNP) are largely formed by , but colonies of and the hybrid are also present. This study shows spatial distribution of colonies, thickets and live fragments of these species in the fore reefs. Snorkeling was used to perform the direct observations.
