Corals have developed a sophisticated internal fan system to protect themselves from climate change, a new study has revealed.
Coral reefs are under threat from coral bleaching which eventually leads to starvation. Global warming can disrupt the algae on the coral – which give it its vivid colors – leaving it white, fragile and more likely to starve.
Now scientists have revealed how a special internal cooling system is saving stony corals–or Scleractinia–from environmental stress.
