Abstract: \nIndonesia is known as an archipelago that has one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world, especially coral reefs. Indonesia’s coral reefs, which are part of the world’s coral reef triangle, provide habitat for various fish species that support the balance of marine ecosystems. This research was conducted through a literature study with the aim of revealing the diversity of fish species that inhabit coral reefs in Indonesia. Data were collected from various scientific sources and journals that discuss the condition of Indonesia’s coral reef biodiversity. The study results show that coral reefs in Indonesia are home to more than 2,000 species of fish, ranging from herbivorous and carnivorous fish to species that play an important role in maintaining the health of coral reefs, such as reef fish (Pomacentrida). However, pressures from human activities, climate change and marine pollution pose serious threats to this diversity. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the diversity of coral reef ecosystems to maintain fish diversity and ecological balance in Indonesian waters.\n
