First record of the coral <i>Porites lobata</i> Dana, 1846 in the Gulf of California

We report the observation of Porites lobata in the southern Gulf of California. Colonies were found at a depth of 4‐5 m and were approximately up to 30 cm in height and between 1 and 3 m in diameter. This finding represents a range extension of the species to 23°N in the eastern Pacific.
