A fellow list member wrote and pointed out that in writing about coral
diseases I incorrectly identified Aspergillus (the pathogen infecting sea
fans) as a bacterium. It's a fungus. Sorry. Also, references on
aspergillosis include:
Nagelkerken, Ivan, et al. Widespread disease in Caribbean sea fans,
Marine Ecology Progress Series, Vol. 160, 15 December 1997, pp. 255-263.
