Of note: This only occurred for fragments taken from an individual of the same genetic makeup(genet: basic meaning is they are a colony). Presumably, it would be difficult to recreate this at scale in the wild. I did not read past the free to read portion of the article that mentions scaling this is possible. I am curious about the methodology of that.
I find it strange that the first observance of this was a year ago, especially given how rapidly it occurs. Coral bleaching has probably been studied since the 80s when major events started being noticed. If Stephen Palumbi is reading this, I would love to read why you think it took so long.
edit: I would wager this is only the first published observance.
