Coral Growing Tank (IMAGE)
Caption
Jeremy Axworthy removes a young coral from a tank at the team's University of Washington lab. The two coral species shown here are Pocillopora damicornis (left), known as cauliflower coral, and Montipora capitatae (right), or rice coral. Cauliflower coral was more likely to ingest microplastics during the team's experiments.
