The content provides an overview of the nature of coral and the process by which coral colonies signal distress before experiencing mass mortality. Coral is not a plant, but rather a marine invertebrate that forms colonies of polyps. When coral colonies experience environmental stressors, they emit distress signals as a last-ditch effort to survive. These signals are often visible as changes in the coral's color, such as bleaching. If the stressors persist, the coral colonies will ultimately die, turning into a "massive graveyard." The content aims to dispel common misconceptions about coral and highlight the complex biological processes involved in coral stress response and mortality.
