脆弱的珊瑚物种：印度洋死去的鹿角珊瑚礁

l coral, likely Montipora capricornis, lies dead on this Andaman Sea reef, its exoskeleton stripped bare by coral bleaching and left as a marker of reef degradation. A coral grouper (Cephalopholis miniata) patrols above while five-lined snapper (Lutjanus quinquelineatus) move through gaps below. Montipora capricornis is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, reflecting sensitivity to warming seas and bleaching across the Indo-Pacific. 4K, wide angle, horizontal medium shot, scuba diver POV.
