Bleached corals show recovery after contact with healthy clones

Original: Bleached corals recover after touching healthy clones — Caveat: "... scientists cautioned that until further research is

Bleached corals have been reported to recover after touching healthy clonemates, a finding that suggests physical contact may trigger recovery in stressed colonies. The observation has drawn interest as a possible lead for reef restoration. However, scientists cautioned that until further research is conducted, it might not be feasible to use this exact approach on the scale necessary to restore whole reefs in the wild.
