Scanning electron micrographs of corals showing signs of grey-patch disease. a The disease-lesion interface. b–f Common microorgansims associated with the apparently healthy tissue in advance of the lesion interface and/or those present in the advancing GPD biofilm. c Large aggregations of coccoid bacteria at the lesion interface. d A representative of the fungal hyphae. e Cyanobacteria penetrating into coral tissue in advance of the disease lesion. f Folliculinid ciliates chitinous lorica, present throughout the lesion interface. Scale bars are a 200 μm and b–f 10 μm
