Coral diseases have been little investigated in the
Indian Ocean and especially in the Republic of Maldives,
where they were firstly observed in 2010. Through repeated
monitoring, we observed a peculiar slow progression of
Black Band Disease in several large colonies of the
reef-building coral Goniopora cf. columna in the Maldivian
reefs of Magoodhoo Island (Faafu Atoll). We argue that this
may ensure the local persistence of the disease, possibly
promoting long-term mortality of other, more susceptible
coral species.
