<DIV></DIV>Dear Coral lister,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I would like to inform you that during the survey on coral reefs of two Iranian Islands in the northern Persian Gulf the yellow disease on corals was observed. This would be the first report of yellow coral disease on this side of the Gulf and I am going to prepare a brief report on my observations but the problem is that I don't know what I must call this disease "Yellow Blotch or Yellow Band".
<DIV></DIV>I have attached a picture I have taken in Kish Island. Can anyone help me to identify this case.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>with the best regards
<DIV></DIV>
