When the temperature of the water gets too high, algae becomes over-reactive and the coral responds by ejecting it into the ocean. When the algae is released into the ocean, the coral becomes pale or bleached. Bleaching does not kill coral immediately. If the algae are not replaced quickly, the coral reef starves. At high temperatures, the algae loses its ability to perform photosynthesis. Once the balance of the coral is changed, it becomes susceptible to infection by viruses and bacteria. It takes corals up to 15 years to recover from a bleaching event. Coral bleaching has various causes.
