Your observation about coral tumours on Acropora are interesting. Tumours
have been reported from Acropora in Oman (see p 93 of Corals of Oman by S L
Coles which has just been posted on the web
http://www.bishopmuseum.org/bishop/PBS/Oman-coral-book/ ). I have also
seen abnormal growths in Porites colonies in the Muscat area which to my
eye look cancerous. I would also be keen to make contact with researchers
who have been investigating tumours in corals.
