Seems to me like nature is running its course then.

well ill play....... That picture is the exact reason it is threatened. That is a Lion Fish. they are an invasive species from the pacific ocean and have no natural predators yet. Some sharks and groupers are learning to eat them though.
Do they eat reefs?

They're not particularly evasive. They just sit there so you can kill them. They have no reason to run because they don't have any natural predators.
How did Chitown's post already get two downvotes. All that man did was state facks

No but they wipeout native tropical/sub-tropical reef fish. Lionfish originate in the Indo-Pacific region

They eat every other fish they can get into their mouths which screws up the chain and eventually kills the coral on the reefs, Florida has a bounty on them as it has been shown what they can do if left alone.

The reefs are in or near Mexican waters. Not much the US could/should do about it.

The articles on this I read like to use coral bleaching caused by global warming as the biggest threat to coral reefs. My question to the "experts" is if coral bleaching is caused by GLOBAL warming, then why aren't ALL tropical corals GLOBALLY affected? I guess the truth is, it's global warming because that's what the research funding was meant to demonstrate.

Something is fricky. There's a quote in the article from a guy saying the local fishermen depend on it...... so it was just discovered by some random scientists? But everyone else apparently knew about it, but it's newly discovered.

Another excuse for the Dems to send foreign aid dineros to Mexico.

They could depend on the area without knowing that there is a coral reef on the bottom

Its a quirk of nature resulting from the oil spill a few years ago.

i discovered it after someone told me that someone else told them that they heard it was there.

The amount of misinformation, ignorance, and ill informed people on this forum never ceases to surprise me. Why comment on a subject you obviously know very little about? Do you crave attention so much that you proudly display your lack of knowledge to everyone in a thread?

Hermatypic (calcium fixing/reef-building) corals can only live in very specific ecosystems. The water has to be warm with relatively high light levels without lots of cloud cover, with low turbidity and very clean water (with have a very high redox potential). They become stressed outside a very narrow temperature band and will expel the Zoozanthella (the symbiotic dinoflagellate algae that live in its tissue) this is called bleaching and when it occurs the animal will almost always dies, with the tissue falling off and leaving the skeleton.
The problem with the mass destruction of coral reefs is that they are the ocean's nursery. The intricate structures of the coral allow for all sorts of animals to breed and for the young to grow sheltered from predators. If you take the coral reefs out of the equation the diversity and makeup of the ocean's biomass will change considerably.
Reefs are extremely important in the earth's entire ecosystem.
