The complete mitogenome of the Sclreractinia, Montipora efflorescens Bernard, 1897 was sequenced for the first time. It had 17,887 bp, with 13 protein-coding genes, and two rRNA and two tRNA genes. Composition of M. efflorescens mitogenome was identical to that of typical Scleractinians. In conclusion, the complete mitogenome may provide detailed information on coral phylogeny.
