脆弱的珊瑚物种：泰国死去的珊瑚礁结构中色彩鲜艳的鱼

sc coral, likely Turbinaria mesenterina or funnel coral Montipora capricornis, forms a bleached exoskeleton, a marker of coral reef decline and biodiversity loss. Five-lined snapper (Lutjanus quinquelineatus) shelter in the foreground while a coral grouper (Cephalopholis miniata) moves along the ridges. Both coral candidate species are Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, reflecting sensitivity to bleaching. Identification is hard once tissue is gone. 4K, wide angle, vertical medium shot, scuba diver POV. Andaman Sea, Krabi Province, Thailand.
