No its nothing new to us that corals produce a sunscreen-like pigment. However it's according to CBS that this is their last ditch effort to survive. Our tanks thrive with vibrant color, and are no more susceptible to dying than a dull looking tank.this is nothing new and it isn’t according to CBS, it’s according to science and had been posted/reported in numerous places.
They aren't unhappy they just adjust to their environment. A coral producing more uv blocking pigments (coloring up) is no different than our skin producing more melanin to protect us from the sun, but you know CBS is CBS. I guess when we tan it's a last ditch effort to avoid death by vacation.Here is my philosophy, if it looks good, is growing, and has great PE, THEN IT IS HAPPY!!!
I thought the world was supposed to collapse in 2000, or didn't Nostradamus predict the world to end several times.
Exactly what my point was. Well said lolThey aren't unhappy they just adjust to their environment.

Higher solar intensity warming the waterWhat would sunscreen have to do with warmer water temp?
Warmer water=less dissolved carbon dioxide=less phyto=less zooplankton= more clarity= more UV penetration = more death rays= more sunscreenWhat would sunscreen have to do with warmer water temp?

It was never about the article. Just a thinly veiled attack on the main stream media and science. It’s a two for one.Again it not CBS... ppl good lord open your eyes and minds...
Coral reefs glow neon colors in an effort to survive
The colorful pigments act as a protective "sunscreen layer" for the corals, a study findswww.cnet.com
Vibrantly colorful coral revealed as a last-ditch survival response
A new study finds that glowing bluish-purple or neon pink is a reaction some corals have to the effects of climate change. This transformation could help them survive.www.inverse.com
Glowing coral reefs are striving to recover from bleaching, study says - KEYT | KCOY
As oceans warm due to climate change, some coral reefs have been devastated in recent years by bleaching events that cause them to die and damage the biodiversity that depends on them. Multiple studies are underway to understand more about these bleaching events and if corals can bounce back...keyt.com
Mysterious glowing coral reefs are fighting to recover
A new study has revealed why some corals exhibit a dazzling colorful display, instead of turning white, when they suffer 'coral bleaching' -- a condition which can devastate reefs and is caused by ocean warming. The scientists behind the research think this phenomenon is a sign that corals are...www.sciencedaily.com

Exactly! Chasing corals photographically time lapsed the reefs as the water warmed and the last change before bleaching was a brightening neon look to the corals colors.Chasing Coral basically said the same thing a few years back. Just before the reefs have been dying in Australia, they turn neon colors.
Exactly, Increased photo intensity probably triggers a built in reaction to prepare the coral for the heat it knows will follow. As stated above the coral is probably confused by our tanks because the heat never comes.Higher solar intensity warming the water
