Ocean acidification (OA) is expected to modify the structure and function of coral reef ecosystems by reducing calcification, increasing bioerosion, and altering the physiology of many marine organism
Sponge-coral-microbial association has not been well established to understand the sponge invasion over coral. This study defines the microbiome of a newly classified bioeroding sponge Cliona thomasi.
In many marine biogeographic realms, bioeroding sponges dominate the internal bioerosion of calcareous substrates such as mollusc beds and coral reef framework. They biochemically dissolve part of the
