Corals can have different responses to ocean heat waves: some remain healthy, some are bleaching, and some are glowing in striking colours from blue to yellow and purple. Under stress, corals can produce special fluorescent pigments that act as a sunscreen layer in an attempt to protect themselves for survival. These glowing colours are also believed to be neon signs that encourage the algae to return to the bleached corals so they can recover. Corals are for sure fascinating creatures. Take a look for yourself by swiping. #CoralGardeners #SaveTheReef #CoralBleaching #Glowing #Corals #CoralBleaching #ClimateCrisis #Ocean #OceanWarming #WarmingClimate
