Colorful and bleached corals with mangrove roots hanging from water surface

Heavenly Coral Ecosystems Up Close.

In this video, you see a fascinating underwater scene with both colorful and bleached corals. At the center, a bunch of corals show different shapes and sizes. Some corals are brown, while others are white, showing signs of bleaching. Tiny fish swim around the corals, making the scene lively. Above the corals, mangrove roots hang down into the water, adding an interesting detail. The clear water allows you to see everything clearly, from the corals to the small fish moving around. This footage shows the connection between mangroves and coral reefs, highlighting how they provide shelter and a home for marine life.

Coral bleaching is a significant threat to marine ecosystems, with certain coral species being more susceptible than others. Corals with less robust symbiotic relationships with algae, such as branching corals like Acropora, are often the first to show bleaching signs. These corals rely heavily on their algae for nutrition and, when stressed by factors like rising sea temperatures or pollution, they expel the algae, losing their color and essential energy source. Massive corals, like brain corals, tend to be more resilient due to their thicker tissues and slower growth rates, which help them withstand environmental changes.
