[Coral-List] Caribbean bleaching

[EWeil]

Dear colleagues,

Similar to what J. Ware reported from Bonaire, the same is true for Curacao. We just finished four days of disease surveys and there is no bleaching. Few colonies of Palythoa, deep Agaricia, Eusmilia fastigiata and one Colpophyllia natans showed paling. Eerything looks normal and water temps. are also normal. 

Saludos!
