Goniastrea

(Goniastrea Sp.)
This Goniastrea Sp. coral head is partially bleached. They seem to be a little stronger than a lot of the surrounding corals that are all bleached. Some of them are all bleached and some look fine. They should be like the brown part on top. These corals are mainly found on the shallow reef flat. Amami 2024

Detail of the Goniastrea Sp. coral above, along the border of the bleaching. It could be Goniastrea edwardsi or Goniastrea favulus. Amami 2024

I think that this is a different type of Goniastrea sp. Amami 2023

This is the same type of of Goniastrea sp. as above after the coral bleaching. It seems to be OK. Amami 2024
