ocr: oYhe should just aj few: species of coral like this wild- looking trio- fluoresce? I went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to ask Charles Mazel, the world's leading investigator ofcoral fluorescence. Mazel is developing new: systems to measure fluorescence and believes that it might someday be used to diagnose reef health. His reply: "Ir's been suggested that fluorescence aids photosynthesis or that it protects against too much ultraviolet light. But there is a real possibility that corals fluoresce for no reason at all"
