Abstract
The prevalence of coral-associated fungi was 4 times higher in diseased Acropora formosa than that on healthy colonies. As taxonomically-related fungal species were isolated from diseased and healthy colonies, we suggest that their association with coral may be constitutive, yet their abundance dependent on coral health.
