This coral is part of one of the zoo's miniature coral reef communities. Coral reefs are one of the most delicate ecosystems in nature, and are in constant threat of being damaged by climate change and fishing. The zoo uses many developing technologies, including the freezing of embryos, to conserve coral reefs.
