[Coral-List] Pink secretion on dead corals

[shashank Keshavmurthy]

Hello James and all

Yes, a photograph would be nice.....
I was there with Ravindran when he was conducting
the experments with the pink line syndrome in
Porites lutea.....
it seemed to be a stress reaction where the pink
color apears due to the fungus......he has also
reported the presence of endolithic fungi in
these corals....in his DAO paper............
You can mail to Ravindran at
jravi at darya.nio.org....and ask the
details........

Cheers!!
