Abstract: Stony corals of order Scleractinia are important biological species of coral reef ecosystem.A number of bioactive compounds with unique structural features and strong biological activities were isolated from stony corals,including alkaloids,polyacetylenes,steroids,terpenoids,unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and macrolides.In this acticle,a review on chemistry and biological activity of stony corals was made.

Key words: Scleractinia, secondary metabolites, bioactivity
