  • The corals living in the shallow waters around Fantasy Island in the Patch Reefs of Palau were devastated by a massive crown of thorns attack following extensive bleaching damage caused by El Niño in 1998. This photograph was taken in 2011, just 13 years after the corals here were wiped out.

  • Palau's reefs have been attacked in the past by massive crown of thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) infestations. Ron Leidich recalled that he removed about 6500 of these starfish from this one particular reef after the el Nino event in 1998. The reefs have recovered, but there are still occasional outbreaks of these coral-consuming invertebrates.
