In 2015 Skomer Marine Nature Reserve changed designation to Skomer Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ). Skomer Marine Nature Reserve (MNR) was designated in 1990. Cup corals are slow growing filter feeders, which are susceptible to changes in water quality and planktonic food supply. Caryophyllia smithii is a common feature of the sub-littoral benthic community of south-western Britain. Counts of cup corals have been done since 1993 using the images collected from the sponge assemblage project. The purpose of this data capture was to monitor the population for changes in densities and to look for evidence of recruitment.
