This database contains  information of specimens of the cryptofauna assemblages identified by experts of each Phyla per reef and región and is a complementary material of the research “Evaluation of the use of Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) to estimate cryptic diversity in two coral reefs of the Yucatan Península, México”. For the present research, animals of the appropriate species and quality were selected and the minimum number required to obtain scientifically valid results were considered, all animals were anesthetized and deposited in National Collections: Colección Regional de Crustáceos de la Península de Yucatán (SEMARNAT number: YUC-CC-255-11), Colección Regional de Moluscos de la Península de Yucatán (SEMARNAT number: YUC. -INV-240-01-11), Colección Regional de Equinodermos de la Península de Yucatán (SEMARNAT number: DGVS-CC-307-18), Colección Regional de Ascidias de la Península de Yucatán (SEMARNAT number: DGVS-CC-306-18), Colección Regional de Briozoos de la Península de Yucatán (SEMARNAT number: DGVS-CC-308-18), Colección Regional de Cnidarios de la Península de Yucatán (SEMARMAT number: YUC-CC-254-11), Colección Regional de Policládidos de la Península de Yucatán (105 Collection CONABIO) and Colección Nacional del Phyla Porifera “Gerardo Green” of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Facultad de Ciencias, Sisal, Mexico (UMDI-Sisal) and within accordance with scientific collection permits: PPF/DGOPA: 295/17, 300/17, 294/17, 293/17, PPF/DGOPA-076/19 issued by Mexico’s State Secretaria de Agricultura, Ganaderia, Desarrollo Rural, Pesca y Alimentación (SAGARPA).
