Cameron McMath, facilities manager for the Coral Reef Futures Lab, checks on the health of new corals collected recently from Tela Bay, Honduras. The brain and elkhorn corals are now in special tanks at the Rosenstiel School that mimic natural light and will ideally encourage them to spawn (or release sperm and eggs) in the coming months.
