"A glimpse into the future of the Red Sea: Under fluorescent light, newly settled coral recruits glow on a specialized substrate. As part of KAUST’s restoration efforts, hundreds of thousands of these larvae are carefully reared in labs to ensure they reach the 'settlement' stage before being returned to the reef."
