Last week during the hurricaine coverage they were reporting average temps around 84 to 85 F.

Acidification and increased C02 is really unhealthy to large swatch of corals and of course some corals are much more sensitive to it than others. It can and will eventually start to impact PH, even in the oceans.

Most likely caused by the Super Nino forming in the Pacific.
