Here are some observations from diving August 28th:
-Overall: only mild, partial bleaching and paling on very few colonies. Likely nothing more than normal summer paling as only Agaricids seemed affected and they are notorious partial, annual bleachers.
-Most colonies of Montastraea faveolata appeared to show signs of disease. I am not totally convinced that it is "disease," nor am I confident regarding which disease it is (Yellow Band?), but I will investigate further.
