Which of the following best describes the consequences of White-band disease in Caribbean coral reefs?

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms
  1. Staghorn coral has been decimated by the pathogen, and Elkhorn coral has taken its place.
  2. Key habitat for lobsters, snappers, and other reef fishes has improved.
  3. Algal species take the place of the dead coral, and the fish community is dominated by herbivores.
  4. Algal species take over and the overall reef diversity increases due to increases in primary productivity.
