Ocean acidification and nitrate enrichment can mitigate negative effects of soft coral (Xenia) competition on hard coral (Stylophora pistillata) endosymbionts [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe combination of ocean acidification (OA) and eutrophication can undermine the physiological performance of reef-building corals during competition for benthic space, leading to shifts towards non-accreting organisms like soft corals. We conducted a 28-

The Soft Coral Sarcophyton trocheliophorum: A Warehouse of Terpenoids with Structural and Pharmacological Diversity [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2022 The soft coral Sarcophyton trocheliophorum, which was frequently encountered on Indo-Pacific and Red Sea coral reefs, furnished a wealth of secondary metabolites. Notably, terpenoids dominated the chemical profile of this species.

Abundance and physiology of dominant soft corals linked to water quality in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Declining water quality is one of the main reasons of coral reef degradation in the Thousand Islands off the megacity Jakarta, Indonesia. Shifts in benthic community composition to higher soft coral abundances have been reported for many degraded reefs ...

Laju Pertumbuhan dan Pertumbuhan Mutlak Karang Lunak Cladiella sp. pada Substrat yang Berbeda
Jurnal Kelautan Tropis, 2020 Soft corals have a soft textured skeletal like tiny spikes made of calcium carbonate present in their tissues. In general, soft corals are attached to hard substrates in the bottom of the waters.

Geographical variations in bacterial communities associated with soft coral Scleronephthya gracillimum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Environmental impacts can alter relationships between a coral and its symbiotic microbial community. Furthermore, changes in the microbial community associated with increased seawater temperatures can cause opportunistic infections, coral disease and ...
