This study shows that the coral parasite Candidatus Aquirickettsia rohweri resists antibiotics and thermal stress in disease-susceptible Acropora cervicornis, suggesting antibiotic treatment may not disrupt its dominance.

This study compares menthol and thermal stress as methods to induce bleaching in staghorn coral, finding menthol more effective at reducing algal symbiont photosynthetic capacity without harming coral health.
