Depuis 25 millions d'années, les coraux scléractiniaires sont les principaux éléments constitutifs des récifs coralliens que nous connaissons et aimons. Aujourd'hui, au 21e siècle, ils sont fortement menacés par le changement climatique induit par le comportement humain. Nous vous invitons à suivre les polypes afin d'apprendre comment vous pouvez vivre une vie plus harmonieuse avec leur survie.
