5. Lack of physiological data on corals. No biochemical indicators (e.g., symbiont density or photosynthetic efficiency) were measured, which would help clarify the physiological mechanisms of coral resilience and mortality.

4.Two-dimensional measurement limitation.
Disease progression was assessed from two-dimensional photographs, which do not account for the complex three-dimensional topography of coral surfaces

3.Absence of microbiological validation. Diagnosis of black band disease (BBD) was based solely on visual assessment. There was no confirmation of the microbial community composition,

2.Small sample size for BBD progression analysis (n = 8).
The rate of disease spread was measured in only eight colonies, which limits statistical reliability

Weaknesses and Points of Debate (Constructive Critique)
1. Lack of control sites.
All observations were conducted within a limited spatial area (two reef locations) without clearly defined “control” zones unaffected by thermal stress.
