List of corals of the Houtman Abrolhos
The marine waters of the Houtman Abrolhos, an island chain off the coast of Western Australia, have been recorded as containing 194 species of coral in 50 genera. This is a surprisingly high coral diversity, considering the high latitude of the reef, and the relatively low diversity of other biota. This is a list of corals of the Houtman Abrolhos:
North Island (Houtman Abrolhos)
Reptiles recorded on North Island include Binoe's prickly gecko ("Heteronotia binoei"), the gecko "Christinus marmoratus", the Jew lizard ("Pogona barbata"), King's skink ("Egernia kingii"), the western limestone ctenotus ("Ctenotus australis"), the western worm lerista ("Lerista praepedita"), the common dwarf skink ("Menetia greyii"), and the Abrolhos bearded dragon ("Pogona minor minima"). The carpet python was reported as present on the island in very low numbers before 1960, but it has never been observed there by naturalists, and is now absent.
