This Table coral (Acropora cytherea) is showing signs of coral bleaching and disease. The brown parts are healthy, the white parts are where the coral has expelled its healthy symbiotic algae leaving only the animal exoskeleton. Possibly due to pollution, disease, ocean acidification or global warming. Location is Ko Haa Islands, Andaman Sea, Krabi, Thailand.

Shallow corals have turned into rubble in the shallows of Indonesia. Rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, Crown of Thorns sea stars, pollution, and over-fishing are major threats to reefs.

$The genus Acropora has the largest number of species of all the hard corals, and they are among the important building blocks of a reef. Larger colonies are more commonly seen on undisturbed and remote reefs. Many species grow into branching forms that give rise to common names like \$

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

This image shows the devastating effects of Coral bleaching as a result of the Global Warming. These corals are broken and dead due to the ocean temperature rising and causing loss of endosymbiotic algae. Here we see an example of the underwater effects on this coral reef ecosystem being totally destroyed. The location is Phi Phi, Andaman Sea, Krabi, Thailand.

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