摘要：Water conditions can determine the life form of coral. This study aimed to determine life form of coral growth in different environmental conditions around Lampung Bay waters. The observation using quadratic transect with size (1x1) m2 and processing data by using CPCE (Coral Point Count with Excel Extension) software. This study was conducted in July 2013. The results showed that the dominant form of coral growth in Lampung Bay waters was branching form of the Acropora genus (ACB), foliose (CF) and massive (CM) forms. Branching types were found in areas with weak current conditions and high brightness levels. Coral foliose were found in areas where the current was also weak and low turbidity. Coral massive domination was found in high level both in current and turbidity. It was concluded that environmental conditions could influence the life form of coral reef in the waters of Lampung Bay.
