Surgeonfish can change colors, often rapidly, depending on their mood, environment, or social interactions. Additionally, some surgeonfish change colors at night while resting to help avoid predators.
The world’s fourth mass #CoralBleaching is underway, but well-connected #reefs may have a better chance to recover https://theconversation.com/the-worlds-fourth-mass-coral-bleaching-is-underway-but-well-connected-reefs-may-have-a-better-chance-to-recover-230755
"#Corals remain healthier and recover faster if they are surrounded by #fish that eat different types of #seaweed, such as #parrotfish, #surgeonfish and #rabbitfish. #SeaCucumbers also are important reef partners. They feed on #bacteria and other organic materials in ocean sediments, cleaning up the area around #CoralReefs."
Coral reefs share genetic material across wide areas, with help from ocean currents. This ability is especially important during episodes like the mass bleaching currently occurring.

A groundbreaking study of the giant bacterium Epulopiscium viviparus shows its unique energy production, promising future applications in algae utilization. Not all bacteria are created equal. Most are single-celled and tiny, a few ten-thousandths of a centimeter long. But bacteria of the Epul
