Reef-building coral may feed more efficiently by using tiny hair-like structures to generate food-carrying conveyer belts in the water running across their surface. Corals that form reefs consist of ...

One biologist in particular, Mary Hagedorn, has met this challenge with an innovative strategy, one that could preserve various coral species in the lab even if they've shut down in situ. Hagedorn's ...

Bright green and yellow fronds wave in the ocean current as schools of neon-colored fish dart around purple knobs and blobs. Welcome to the coral reef! Coral reefs are amazing and important natural ...

In the tropical waters off the coast of Indonesia, a free-swimming coral larva attaches itself to an underwater rock and starts to grow. The larva grows into a coral polyp, then a colony that matures ...

The soft-bodied sea anemone does not produce reef-forming rocky skeletons on its own, but was induced to produce skeleton creating proteins, turning it into a good model system for studying coral ...
