  abstract = {{W}ith the recent taxonomic revision of the scleractinian {P}ocillopora damicornis ({L}innaeus 1758), now identified as a species complex, former reproduction studies must be reconsidered. {I}n this context, this study focuses on {P}.damicornis type, more precisely {SSH}05c sensu {G}elin et al. ({M}ol {P}hylogenet {E}vol 109:430-446, 2017b), found exclusively in the {I}ndian {O}cean. {W}e aimed to determine whether {P}.damicornis type {SSH}05c is able to produce asexually derived larvae. {F}or this, colonies were collected in {R}eunion {I}sland and kept in aquaria. {T}wo mother colonies released larvae that were genotyped using 13 microsatellite loci along with the mother colony to compare their multi-locus genotypes and identify clones. {A}ll planulae (9 and 84, respectively) presented a genotype identical to their mother colony. {T}his study provides the first evidence of asexual larval production in {P}. damicornis type {SSH}05c from the southwestern {I}ndian {O}cean. {H}owever, given the limited data set, more studies are needed to better characterize the role and frequency of this reproductive strategy for this lineage.},
