cauliflower

            During the summer of 2015, the ocean temperature around the Hawaiian Islands increased significantly, resulting in widespread coral bleaching. One of the most impacted species was Pocillopora mandrina also known as cauliflower coral. Now, after several years, the species is making a slow comeback with small colonies appearing.
