A new study has revealed that coral offspring, particularly from a common branching species, can establish new colonies over 100 kilometers away from their parents.
This research highlights the significant dispersal capabilities of coral larvae, marking one of the longest distances recorded for such organisms.
The findings underscore the adaptability of coral species in the vast Pacific Ocean, which may have implications for their survival and distribution in changing marine environments.
