Brain coral is a common name given to various corals in the families Mussidae and Merulinidae, so called due to their generally spheroid shape and grooved surface which resembles a brain

$Nusa Laut is the smallest inhabited island in the Lease Islands group east of Ambon, in Indonesia's Maluku province. Overall the coral community of Amet Reef is healthy and has a high resilience potential. Acropora table corals grow to enormous dimensions here.

$Next to Tayandu Island there are Karangs, shallow areas that reach a few meters below the surface. They are full of life. Table Acropora exceeded three metres in size here, reaching up to four metres.\nThis colony was badly damaged. Damage happens often by mix of storms, earthquakes and destructive fishing practices. \nThis colony has a good overgrowth of dead portions, a high lesion repair. The white edges are the growth zones.\nIn 2023, when this photo was taken, the stress resistance, recovery, and overall reef health and resilience potentials of this coral community were all high.\nKarang Huisman, Tayandu Island, Indonesia, \n5°28'41.72 S 132°13'21.31 E at 11m depth$

Coral bleaching occurs when corals expel their symbiotic algae, known as zooxanthellae, due to stress caused by factors such as high water temperatures, pollution, or ocean acidification. This leads to the corals losing their vibrant colors and becoming pale or white. Without the zooxanthellae, the corals are more vulnerable to disease and may ultimately die. Coral bleaching is a major concern for coral reefs around the world, as it can have a devastating impact on the entire marine ecosystem that relies on these important structures.

$At this very healthy reef at Karang Huisman, a sea mountain near Tayandu Island, large Acropora Table Corals and Porites Corals dominate the scenery. \nPorites is one of the most common scleractinian coral species on Indonesian reefs. The average of coral growth rates ranged from 0.8-1.2 cm/year. So this coral must be very old. \nKarang Huisman, Tayandu Island, Indonesia, 5°28'41.7221 S 132°13'21.3085 E at 11m depth$
