Skeletal variations of Montastraea cavernosa from Brazil, Abrolhos (BA), Tamandaré (PE) and Mexico, Puerto Morelos (Q.ROO) and variations of Favia gravida from Brazil, Abrolhos, Tamandaré and Santa Cruz (ES) were analyzed. At the Abrolhos reefs, samples of M. cavernosa were collected from three depths: O- 5 m, 10-15 m and 15-20 m. At the other localities, the specimens were collected at a depth of 0-5 m. Samples of F. gravida were collected at this same depth. A total of fourteen measurements were made in ten corallites on each sample.

The characters of M. cavernosa, which were weighed most heavily on the first canonical variate, consist of: diameter of coralllte and the height of outer columella. ln F. gravida: number of septa per cm and of center per 9 cm², Variability of the studied characters decreased from the intrapopulational to the interpopulational level, and was always significant.
