Fussy fish can have their coral, and eat it too
Being a fussy eater is a problem for reef fish who seek refuge from climate change on deeper reefs. But, scientists discovered, the coral that these fussy fish eat can support them.The study was l

Very little, if anything, is known about submerged reefs on the GBR. A Coral CoE led survey went below the surface to assess what lives on some of these reefs. Ed Roberts recorded this video on a reef ridge at Oropesa Reef near Cairns at a depth of between 10-12 metres below sea level. Watch Oropesa Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Australia (January 2015) from Ed Roberts.
For the 2013 Bommies Award, 12 eligible videos were received from a group of talented reef scientists. The 2013 winner Ms Kirsty Nash was a researcher at the CoralCoE with her video BIG FISH small fish: How will climate change affect reef fish?. Kirsty was interviewed by the Great Barrier Reef Foundation Science Forum 2014 on 7th August 2014 – you can watch the video below.
David Bellwood, a marine biologist and an internationally recognized expert in coral reef fishes and systems, combines skills in such disparate fields as ecology, palaeontology, biomechanics and molecular systems to understand the nature of reefs. “The argument would be that if you’ve got a reef with a thousand species, it is a lot more resilient, and a lot more capable of maintaining itself than a reef with a hundred species. I don’t think that is true.” Watch the podcast David Bellwood: Lessons from coral reefs below.
