Although the humble sea cucumber may not look like much, it could soon be recruited to help save the world's coral reefs. The bottom-dwelling animals have been found to play a vital role in protecting corals from harmful bacteria.Climate change is largely responsible for the mass die-off of our planet's coral reefs, as stress caused by higher water temperatures causes corals to expel the symbiotic algae living within them.
