Monday moment of zen brought to you by the cutest cup corals 🧡⁠
⁠
While reef-building corals form large colonies, these little corals make their own outer skeletons. Once a cup coral larva finds their permanent location, they cement that limestone skeleton to the substrate and stay there for life. ⁠

Cold-water corals have been found at depths as great as 6000 m, but they thrive between 200 and 1000 m, along continental shelves, continental slopes, submarine canyons, and seamounts. More info here: oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/education/de...

Falling sea levels due to El Niño will hit mangroves and corals
As sea levels rise in the eastern Pacific, they are falling around Australia and the Coral Triangle, leaving some mangroves and corals high and dry

Researchers at Stanford have discovered a method of healing bleached corals in just 7 weeks!

Through contact with a genetically identical healthy coral fragment previously bleached corals were able to return to a healthy state in record time!

While limited now this could save reefs in the future!

Really enjoyed #BluePlanet3 last night! It did a great job of bringing awareness to coral bleaching. I hope my game, City Of Corals, can do the same one day!!

These cool little fossilised corals are everywhere down here, reminding me why its called the 'devonian' period

Rapid coral bleaching recovery via symbiont transfer from healthy corals
Coral bleaching, the temperature-induced loss of dinoflagellate symbionts, is a major driver of global coral reef decline. Although corals can regain symbionts through repopulation of residual symbion...

"But Collins also finds meaning beyond the mechanism. “I find this represents the power and importance of contact, an idea that can be extended well beyond corals,” he said."
