RE: A mesophotic coral reef has been discovered for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea
I am afraid you are right about the prospects of the tropical corals :( Let´s see how these deep-water corals will do in future.
They probably won't be affected by bleaching at least, since they don't rely on zooxanthellae to do photosynthesis (these are essentially removed from the coral when it gets too hot, leading to a bleaching).
