[Coral-List] reef pictures

[David Obura]

Hi Dave

- your request for pictures of a "wide angle view of a diseased reef" - perhaps some photos of the 'black reefs' in the current thread on coral list might show this better than photos of 'standard' coral diseases, in which there may be diseased corals but most of the view would likely include healthy corals, or other organisms, such as algae! I think Forest Rohwer's group will have the most comprehensive collection of images at this point.

best,

David Obura
