Corals on Ofu survive periodic heating up to 94 F (34 C), a temperature that would kill most corals. They seem to have super algae symbionts that help, but that's not the whole story.
Is there a lesson here that will help corals survive warming oceans, and perhaps even survive the ocean acid monster? Maybe!
Great to know there are a few good news stories for corals these days, even as the world's corals decline. Tweet
