Coral

[Dr.R. Jayabaskaran]

Dear All,

        Recently I surveyed the coral reefs of Gulf of Kachchh, India.
During my survey I observed that the coral Pseudosiderastrea tayami Yabe
and Sugiyama, 1935 was commonly distributed in shallow areas near
mangroves where the silting rate was very high. I would like to know "
Which coral species in the world has high survival rate in muddy
environment?"

Kind regards,
R. Jeyabaskaran
