Laboratory experiments demonstrated that ghostly white corals can fully recover their color and health within seven weeks. The healing process can be initiated with as little as five days of contact, which supplies enough beneficial algae to rescue fragments on the brink of death. This finding offers a novel approach to addressing coral reef degradation driven by environmental pressures.Why it mattersCoral reefs globally face severe threats
