Tumor formations in scleractinian corals [PDF]
Helgoländer Meeresuntersuchungen, 1984 A highly localized incidence of skeletal malformations (tumors) in the scleractinian coralsPlatygyra pini andP. sinensis on an inshore fringing reef at Cockle Bay, Magnetic Island within the Great Barrier Reef province is reported. These tumors are typified by a localized area of increased growth rate resulting in roughly circular protuberances ...

Differential expression of three galaxin-related genes during settlement and metamorphosis in the scleractinian coral Acropora millepora [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: The coral skeleton consists of CaCO3 deposited upon an organic matrix primarily as aragonite. Currently galaxin, from Galaxea fascicularis, is the only soluble protein component of the organic matrix that has been characterized from a coral.

Diversity of cultivable protease-producing bacteria and their extracellular proteases associated to scleractinian corals [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Protease-producing bacteria play a vital role in degrading organic nitrogen in marine environments. However, the diversity of the bacteria and extracellular proteases has seldom been addressed, especially in communities of coral reefs. In this study, 136
