  • Preliminary study had been conducted on species of coral fish which lived with association in coastal ecotourism waters of the Rubiah Island, Sabang Municipality, Nangro Aceh Darussalam Province in period of pre tsunami 2004. The aims of the preliminary study were expected to collecting the initial data about dominance species of coral fish with estimation of its population. The survey for data collecting was conducted with visual census on species of coral fish with quadratic plot method on line transect with horizontal and vertical position from coastal line. Species data of coral fish were analysed with quantitative estimation on sums of individual per hectare. Chaetodon (4 species) was indicated as dominance genus among all species which lived with association on coral reef. Chromis viridis (8,375 individual/hectare), Chromis dimidiatus (1,000 individual/hectare), and Dascyllus aruanus (1,000 individual/hectare) had been indicated as species which had estimation with high population value on coral reef of coastal ecotourism waters of the Rubiah Island
