phylogenetically closely related species (n = 21) of mushroom
corals (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) around Pari Island (Java Sea)
during a period of excessive seawater warming in 1983. The
interspecific variation in the proportions of affected
individuals was significant. Spatial variation in the degree of
bleaching anlong fungiid assemblages depended much on relative
species abundances. Mushroom corals In relatively stagnant water
of lagoons and on the inner reef flat showed little bleaching.
Many of the outer reef mushroom corals at ≤ 9 m depth were
affected, but only a few at greater depths (≥15 m). In most
affected fungiids, the bleached part was
