  • Naive question:

    Is it possible to introduce some more heat resistant algea, that's compatible with corals?

    I do know about some programs, where they introduce more heat resistant corals to the reefs, but when the original problem is the algea getting toxic in higher temperatures, I wonder, if we could save existing reefs with adapted algea...?
