最近有报道称，偶氮黄藻石珊瑚Tubastraea coccus已经侵入墨西哥湾（Fenner 2001）和巴西（Castro和Pires 2001; Ferreira 2003; Figueira de Paula和Creed 2004）。根据来自库拉考和波多黎各的材料，Vaughan和威尔斯（1943年）在加勒比地区报道了该病毒，此后该病毒可能一直在加勒比地区传播，甚至可能从太平洋传入加勒比地区（凯恩斯2000年; Humann和DeLoach 2002年，第164页）。没有加勒比海的化石已知的这个物种（凯恩斯1999）。大多数加勒比造礁珊瑚（88%）在T。1943年在加勒比海报告了球虫，描述的中位日期是116年前。所有其他属在Tubastraea之前已在加勒比海被发现，最后一个属在Tubastraea被发现之前75年被发现。可可豆产于波拉波拉岛，日期为1829年。其分布范围包括大部分或全部热带印度洋-太平洋（凯恩斯2000）。或者，它可能来自佛得角群岛或几内亚湾在东大西洋，在那里它也被称为（Laborel 1974;凯恩斯2000）。佛罗里达州尚未报道（Wheaton and Jaap 1988; Jaap and Hallock 1990;凯恩斯2000; Fenner 2001; Dawson 2002;另见http：//floridakeys.号noaa。gov/sanctuary_resources/specieslist. pdf），而在墨西哥湾，仅在石油平台上有报告（Fenner 2001）。据报道，这是第一次在佛罗里达和墨西哥湾西北部的花园银行。
The azooxanthellate scleractinian coral Tubastraea coccinea has recently been reported to have invaded the Gulf of Mexico (Fenner 2001) and Brazil (Castro and Pires 2001; Ferreira 2003; Figueira de Paula and Creed 2004). It may have been spreading in the Caribbean since it was reported there by Vaughan and Wells (1943), based on material from Curacao and Puerto Rico, and may even have been introduced into the Caribbean from the Pacific (Cairns 2000; Humann and DeLoach 2002, p. 164). No Caribbean fossils of this species are known (Cairns 1999). Most Caribbean reef building corals (88%) were described before T. coccinea was reported from the Caribbean in 1943, with the median date of description being 116 years earlier. All other genera had been found in the Caribbean before Tubastraea, the last having been found 75 years before Tubastraea was found. The type locality of T. coccinea is Bora Bora, date 1829. Its range includes most or all of the tropical Indo-Pacific (Cairns 2000). Alternatively, it may have come from the Cape Verde Islands or Gulf of Guinea in the eastern Atlantic, where it is also known (Laborel 1974; Cairns 2000). It has not been reported fromFlorida (Wheaton and Jaap 1988; Jaap and Hallock 1990; Cairns 2000; Fenner 2001; Dawson 2002; see also http://floridakeys. nos. noaa. gov/sanctuary_resources/specieslist. pdf), and in the Gulf of Mexico it has only been reported from oil platforms (Fenner 2001). It is reported here for the first time in Florida and the Flower Garden Banks of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico.
