Be sure to check out the corals next time you're at the cuttlefish exhibit in Spineless. While you won’t see this level of detail with the naked eye, this video captured with a macro lens shows a coral feeding up close. A coral’s diet consists primarily of microscopic zooplankton. During feeding, a coral polyp extends its tentacles away from its body and waves them in the water to capture zooplankton, bacterioplankton, and other food particles. | New York Aquarium

There’s something spooky happening under the sea… Coral reefs are turning white as a ghost! 👻🪸 As ocean temperatures rise, corals lose their colorful hue through a haunting process known as coral bleaching. And as their color fades, it threatens the marine life that depends on reefs for their survival. At Conservation International, we’re working to help coral’s fight back, because what’s the world without reefs? Now that’s a real fright! #Halloween | Conservation International
