Abstract
Porites panamensisis the scleractinian coral with the widest latitudinal distribution in the eastern tropical Pacific. Here, we report the occurrence ofP. panamensisin an estuarine environment of the central Pacific coast of Colombia at the rocky reef of Los Negritos, Málaga Bay.Porites panamensisseems to withstand a wide range of environmental settings, including areas with unfavourable conditions for the survival of most other corals. Such wide tolerance may explain its broad latitudinal distribution in the eastern tropical Pacific.
