Underwater Finger coral (Stylophora pistillata) suffering coral bleaching stock photo

Underwater Finger coral (Stylophora pistillata) suffering coral bleaching Coral reefs are the one of earths most complex ecosystems, containing over 800 species of corals and one million animal and plant species. Here we see a shallow coral reef with a Finger coral (Stylophora pistillata) that is completely bleached white.  Coral bleaching occurs when corals are distressed and dying due to the ocean temperature rising.  This stress causes them to expel endosymbiotic algae leaving only the dead skeleton.
