Corals in Hong Kong usually direct attach onto boulders and bedrock and form scattered fringing coral communities along the coast. They assemble into small sub-tidal reefs but rarely into intertidal colonies because of the low air temperature in winter. The greatest abundance of stony corals is found at about -1 m to -3 m C.D. in depth and unlikely extend to more than -10 m C.D.
