The band can move across the surface of the colony at the rate of a few millimeters a day, leaving behind bleached skeletal material. [9] The physical coloration of coral is an easy way of identifying some pathogens, since many diseases are identified by their most obvious symptoms such as black band disease, white pox and yellow-band disease.

Heuchera cylindrica is a species of perennial flowering plant in the saxifrage family known by the common names poker alumroot, roundleaf alumroot, and coral bells. It is native to western North America, where it is found from British Columbia to California, and east to Wyoming and Montana.
Heucherellas take their brilliant foliage colors from the Heuchera parents and the dark leaf patterns and cut-leaf shapes from the Tiarella parents. They are often called by their botanical name × Heucherella, but the common name in the USA is "foamy bells" because the common names of the parent plants are "coral bells", and "foam flower" respectively.
In western states, a paint ring may signify a tree affected by mountain pine beetles. A splotch of head-high color could also be a trail marker, showing hikers or mountain bikers which way to go.
