Montipora capitata Dana, 1846 is one of the most successful reef-building corals in the Hawaiian Archipelago, both in terms of geographic distribution and relative abundance.

We collected biopsy samples (n = 560) from colonies at each of 11 islands/atolls along the archipelago in addition to Johnston Atoll, about 1328 km to the southwest. We found very few potential clones (
