Black Band Disease was one of the first coral diseases identified back in the 1970s, and is still one of the most prevalent diseases on reefs worldwide. The disease forms a black band of microorganisms that progresses across the coral surface leaving dead white skeleton behind, like that on this brain coral (Diploria strigosa).
