@ZoeR_Coral @reef_scientist One of my favourite corals! It also has an unusual sexual system where polyps are gonochoric (either male or female) but colonies can have polyps of both sexes https://t.co/NFE3KMMltF

Ok, I’m willing to postulate that all corals are hermaphrodites, either simultaneous or sequential. Prove me wrong by finding sex-associated genomic loci (I’m not even asking for whole chromosome)

@heatshok I found something similar for Diploastea heliopora https://t.co/NFE3KN3ovF, but I think there are some true gonochoristic corals. Tagged colonies of Porites lutea that I sampled for 14 mo in Singapore never changed sex.
