The method used in this research is a survey method with direct observation and sampling in the field. Determination of the type of nematocytes from A. formosa coral was carried out using an Olympus microscope with an objective lens magnification of 10X40 (400) at the Marine Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine, Universitas Riau. Of the 25 main types of nematocytes known in the phylum Cnidaria, one type was found in this species.
