X-radiographs of corallites of the zooxanthellate coral Cladocora caespitosa (L.), collected in the Ligurian Sea bctween 3 and 27 m depth, were examined. C. caespitosa deposits 2 bands yr-'; the high density band is deposited during winter (November to March) while the low density band is deposited in summer. Average growth rates ranged from 1.36 L 0.58 to 4.42 i 1.61 mm yr-' No differences in the tirning of band deposition were found between shallow and deep colonies. A companson of the band
