As in many other locations in Madagascar, there are many reptiles and amphibians on Masoala which have not even been identified or documented yet.
The most dominant genus of coral is Acropora, which reflects a good reef condition as members of this group are very fragile and sensitive to degradation.
Todate these inventories has have only been made in shallow waters, so a further inventory in the outer reefs will reveal the true wealth of biodiversity of the coastal waters around the Masoala peninsula.<br><br>
=== Mollusca (Sea Snails and Slugs) ===
