Abstract
    Fifty-two anthozoan species were recorded and collected in the area of Mljet National Park during surveys from 1995 to 1998. General and ecological data are presented for each species, as well as distribution and local abundance. Recorded species account for about 60% of anthozoans known in the Adriatic Sea, and for about 45% of anthozoans known in the Mediterranean Sea. Eight of these species were not recorded previously in the Adriatic Sea. Eleven species are considered to be Mediterranean endemics. The heterogeneity of substrates and benthic communities is considerable in the Mljet National Park, with anthozoans present on most different kinds of substrates and in a wide range of benthic communities. Remarkably, the colonial coral Cladocora caespitosa builds a large »reef-like« structure in the Veliko Jezero, in the area characterized by strong bottom hydrodynamism.
