Bleaching/death rates of corals

[DanielHerrera]

Hello everyone,

 

I want to learn about some ways in which a coral might bleach or die. I am particularly interested in bleaching/death rates for each reason. As an example, I believe bleaching due to low light intensity might take a couple days while excessive light intensity might kill a coral much faster.

 

Does anyone have a refference for all possible death rates of corals? Although I'm interested in sps corals, information on every coral would helpful. 

 

This could help use better make an idea on why our corals might br struggling.

 

Thanks!
