APOLLO BEACH - Only 63 unique genetic individual pillar corals are currently alive in the Florida Reef Tract, so a group of scientists, including those at the Tampa-based Florida Aquarium have banded together to save the species, which is under threat of local extinction.In addition to ocean acidification attributable to global warming, pillar coral colonies, which grow in stubby, cigar-like fingers, are susceptible to a spreading disease that causes tissue loss in coral - leaving
