Abstract
Diploria labyrinthiformis, also known as the grooved brain coral, is a brown or yellow hemispherical-shaped reef-building coral occurring in the Caribbean, the Bahamas, southern Florida, and Bermuda (Humann, 1993). It is most commonly found on offshore reefs at depths between 1 and 30 meters, growing to about 2 meters in diameter (Sterrer, 1986). Bermudian brain corals such as D. labyrinthiformis grow upward at a rate of about 3.5 millimeters per year (Sterrer, 1992). Like many other anthozoans, D. labyrinthiformis is host to symbiotic dinoflagellate algae called zooxanthellae. These zooxanthellae are supplied with protection and nutrients from the coral animal, while the coral is supplied with nutrients and energy for calcification and growth (Savage et al., 2002). Recent research has involved studying the increased incidences of coral bleaching and disease (Kuta and Richardson, 2002; Nugues, 2002; Cook et al., 1990; Brylewska, 2003). This is being done in an attempt to understand the causes of the degradation of coral reefs.
