Summary
[edit]DescriptionFGBNMS - Orange Cup Coral (32467408584).jpg |
This orange cup coral may be beautiful, but it's an invasive species in Flower Garden Banks and Florida Keys national marine sanctuaries. This Indo-Pacific hard coral has established itself throughout the tropical western Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico. Scientists believe it may have made the journey attached to ship hulls or within ship ballast water. Orange cup coral displaces native corals and sponges, taking up space in which native species would normally establish themselves. Also, because these corals reproduce at a young age and larvae may float on the current for up to 14 days before settling, they are able to spread far and wide. In Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, sanctuary staff have worked to remove orange cup coral from the reef to keep it from getting too established. Photo Credit: Emma Hickerson/NOAA |
