In the half purple half white Pocillopora (top left)—two colonies of Pocillopora appear as one, with one half bleached (white) and the other half (purple) beginning to bleach. Corals often brighten in color (top right—purple Pocillopora) as they begin to bleach. A partly bleached Pocillopora (bottom right) may live or may die like the last photo (bottom left) overgrown by algae and invertebrates. Top right photo © R. Salm; all others © D. Obura
