Since 2015, I spent>280 nights snorkeling to build a reproduction calendar of corals &other animals in the Red Sea.
In addition to the discovery that coral spawning synchrony was off, this massive effort allowed me to witness some nocturnal mysteries🕵️🧐🦀

Are corals really non-aging organisms?🤔

New study by Rapuano, @TomShlesinger et al. challenges the notion that colony size determines coral reproductive effort

Glad to see my study in this month's issue of @ESABulletin

This is a lighter version of our study - with an emphasis on great #photography & descriptions

Using @TomShlesinger's brilliant talent we hope to communicate our findings to a wider audience👇
