CORAL BLEACHING AND CORAL POLYPS
A close up image of small coral polyps (Galaxea sp.) that are loosing their pigment as a result of coral bleaching. When ocean temperature increases, corals will expel the algae (zooxanthellae) living in their tissues causing the coral to turn completely white. April, 2010; Indian Ocean, Ankao, Madagascar.
