[Coral-List] Montastrea faveolata's resistance to bleaching

Belize Marine TREC trec at hotmail.com
Tue Apr 19 21:16:32 EDT 2011


During the last bleaching event in Belize I noticed a startling difference
in bleaching susceptibility between Montastea annularis and M. faveolata.
Many sites showed both species right next to each other, M. annularis bleached,
M. faveolata never bleached time and time again we witnessed the bleaching of 
M. annularis and M. faveolata -never was bleached.  This strikes us as particularly 
peculiar since (1) they are sister species and (2) M. faveolata is always much darker
in color than M. annularis even under ordinary circumstances.
Has anyone else noticed this?  Does anyone have an explanation?
 
An aside - has anyone else noticed a current massive die off in split crown feather dusters (Anamobaea orstedii)?

I meet some problem to need your help. when I count the number of zooxanthellae in galaxea genus, I observe a lot of mucus float in beaker(using dental waterpik wash sureface of coral). These mucus disturb the zooxanthellae counter and interference the fellow molecular experiment. Can you give me some advise to avoid mucus product in the test?
