Can healthy corals help bleached corals recover? New research reveals how physical connections between genetically identical coral fragments can allow symbiotic algae to move from healthy tissue into bleached tissue, helping restore a partnership essential to coral survival. These findings offer a promising new direction for coral restoration, while raising important questions about recovery, resilience, and the future of reefs in a warming ocean.
