%X This paper describes five new species of the soft coral genus Sarcophyton which were identified by their morphological characters (colony form and sclerite shape). The five species have been named: S. aalbersbergi sp. nov., S. aldersladei sp. nov., S. alexanderi sp. nov., S. skeltoni sp. nov and S. soapiae sp. nov. For the first time it is documented that there is a Sarcophyton species that does not have sclerites in the interior of the disc.
