Three species of scleractinian corals Agaricia tenuifolia Dana, 1848, Agaricia agaricites (Linnaeus, 1758) and Pavonadecussata (Dana, 1846) of the family Agariciidae Gray, 1847 were originally collected by Mr. James A. Murray (Curator and Zoologist at Victoria Museum, Karachi) in 1880 from Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea.These specimens were present in the Victoria Museum, Frere Hall, Karachi before 1952. Currently, these collections are kept in Zoological Museum of the University of Karachi. The present study deals with the detailed taxonomical description of the Agariciid corals. Species are compared with standard literature and the keys.
