Checklist of Acropora of North Borneo Here, we report 83 species of Acropora in North Borneo; 79 have been corroborated with vouchers comprised of 180 specimens from IPMB-MRC (museum abbreviation: IPMB-C), 170 from BRI, and 98 from MTQ (Table 3). Depth records were available for most of the vouchers and the species reported in Wood and Tan (1987), which are given in range. Photographs of the vouchers are included as an attachment at the end of this paper. The systematic arrangement of Acropora is as follows: Phylum: Cnidaria Class: Anthozoa Subclass: Hexacorallia Order: Scleractinia Family: Acroporidae Verrill 1902 Genus: Acropora Oken 1815 Type species: Acropora muricata (Linnaeus 1758) No. Species Documented distribution in North Borneo Depth range Figure (m) 1 Acropora P.
