An underwater photo of a man named Juan Torres-Pérez. He is a coral expert and is pointing very closely to bleaching spots on a clump of staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), in the waters of Punta Soldado, Puerto Rico. The rest of the coral colony shows encrusting Ramicrusta algae, and a few colonies of branching finger coral (Porites furcate)
