      The article discusses about rapid heat-stress test used in identifying resilient corals. Topics include As rising ocean temperatures threaten coral reefs worldwide, identifying the most heat-resilient coral colonies is crucial for conservation efforts; the Coral Bleaching Automated Stress System (CBASS), made from materials commonly available at hardware stores; and it consists of four 10-liter tanks that can be set up on the same boats researchers use to reach the reefs.
