Dear all
When the photos that I posted on my website were taken...only 3 colonies of Acropora sp. were seen with those growth anamolies at our sampling site....
We do not know about the adjacent site...or to extent at which it will spread..or will it spread at all...
We will be going again after 2 weeks to check for the spread if any...or it might have been some freak incident!!
will keep you updated
Hoping for the best....
Regards

Doug,
I'm not sure if I have the correct email for Greta or not. When you get back from your trip, please send this along to her.
Thanks,
Leslie

Leslie, those are surely growth anomalies. Go ahead and tell Shashank. Im on a trip using internet cafe computers, making it a bit harder. If you have gretas email, you could alert her. It is a shape I havent seen, but she may have. Doug

Doug and Eric(2),
I looked at his pictures and they look familiar to what I have seen in American Samoa. Do you concur? I'm not sure if Greta Abey and Theiry Work have conducted their tests on it and have named it or not.
