Beautiful table corals fanning out across the reef. A caption invites us to read and open access article in the journal Invertebrate Systematics, titled 'The tables have turned: taxonomy, systematics and biogeography of the Acropora hyacinthus (Scleractinia: Acroporidae) complex'. The photo is credited as being by Queensland Museum.

Shadows Beneath the Waves A 7,000-Year-Old Reef Reveals What Happens When Sharks Disappear

7,000-year-old Caribbean reefs reveal what modern ones have lost: sharks, large fish—and balance. Prey species flourished in their absence. Fossils help show what healthy reefs once looked like. #Paleoecology #ReefScience #Anthropocene #FossilReefs @pnas.org

🌊 #FeatureFriday: Meet the ICRS Skills & Professional Development Team! 🚀📚

This team helps early-career reef scientists grow. From mentorships to career panels and hands-on training, we connect education with real-world impact. #ICRS #ReefScience #SciComm #STEMCareers

Dive into the process for the creation of our first #benthosgame card illustration: the Stoplight Parrotfish! Check out our previous post for info on our design philosophy! #reefscience 🪸 🧪

Check out the thought process that went into developing our distinctive art style for #benthosgame, starting with the Stoplight Parrotfish. This mischievous guy would become our unofficial mascot and star on the box art! #reefscience 🪸 🧪
