In recent years, more efforts have been made to achieve the biological active metabolites from living organisms, especially marine organisms. In this study, the antimicrobial effects of stichodactyla hadooni extract was investigated. For this purpose, they were collected from depths of 5-8 meters by diving operations on the coasts of hormoz island and their extraction have done by using methanol, dichloromethane and acetone as organic solvents. The extracts were dried in a rotary dryer and transformed to powder form by vacuum freeze dryer. Then 3 strains of bacteria (vibrio alginolyticus, enterococcus faecalis and klebsiella planticola) were used for evaluation the antimicrobial activity of the extracts by using disk diffusion agar method. The results showed that methanol extract had the potential to inhibit the proliferation of all three strains of the bacteria, especially V. alginolyticus. The results of growth inhibition zone obtained from the extracts solved in dmso showed that high concentration of extracts could affect the gram positive bacteria, enterococcus faecalis.
