Each Biological collection in a particular group is unique, since it has taxonomic and geographic information of its specimens in different spatial and temporal scale. Therefore, exclusive species at each collection generate taxonomic complementarity with other collections, and shared species represent countrys back up material in case of partial or total collection damage. Any collection species list allow us to: determine species presence-absence with respect to a referenced framework, reported list for the country, potential increment of the existing framework; maximize taxonomic and bibliographic revision of a biological group; and to search and compare specimens. Species list comparison of a biological group from different National and International collections permit us to define: total museum species representativity; biodiversity contribution, geographical sampled areas, collections quality, collections priorities based on biodiversity indexes (1); and to borrow and interchange specimens between Institution, Washington D.C. - USA). Sin embargo, recientemente fueron referenciados para el Museo Javeriano de Historia Natural Lorenzo Uribe S.J., (MUJ, Bogotá Colombia) los corales hermatípicos colectados en el Caribe Colombiano.
