Scientists generally agree on four different coral reef classifications: fringing reefs, barrier reefs, atolls, and patch reefs. Fringing reefs grow near the coastline around islands and continents. They are separated from the shore by narrow, shallow lagoons. Fringing reefs are the most common type of reef.
Probiotic Experiments. Scientists are testing the theory that probiotics may bolster coral resistance and recovery. Researchers with the Smithsonian and the University of Florida are using healthy corals taken from Florida waters to develop probiotics that could slow or prevent disease progression.
Many organisms found on reefs produce chemical compounds that have been used in treatments for cardiovascular diseases, ulcers, leukemia, lymphoma, and skin cancer, and many more remain undiscovered. More than half of all new cancer drug research focuses on marine organisms, many of which can be found on coral reefs.
Black band disease was first observed on reefs in Belize in 1973 by A. Antonius, who described the pathogen he found infecting corals as Oscillatoria membranacea, one of the cyanobacteria.
Black-band disease, discolored spots, red-band disease, and yellow-blotch/band disease appear as discolored bands, spots or lesions on the surface of the coral. Over time, these progress across or expand over the corals surface consuming the living tissue and leaving the stark white coral skeleton in their wake.

Black Necrosing Syndrome is a fungal disease that leads to the death of clumps of tissues on gorgonian corals. Black band disease impacts a variety of coral species, and is caused by cyanobacteria that degenerates the tissues of the coral skeleton. Brown band disease is brought about by infections caused by protozoa.
Change in ocean temperature Increased ocean temperature caused by climate change is the leading cause of coral bleaching.
Research has shown that increases in water temperature, nutrient (sewage) input, storm water runoff and turbidity or sedimentation are contributing factors to coral disease.
