Sorry to pop the party but we need perspective. "Scientists breed successfully corals" is not a big deal, marine aquarium keepers reproduce many easy species for decades and have developed the technology to help with that. The problem is that this is a titanic task. There are >350 species of hard corals with zooxanthelae and they have very long life cycles. The second part of the title is more problematic. The real meat in the article is that the results, the increase in heat tolerance, were minor. Even the authors say that will be unable to cope with the changes coming. Is interesting and relevant to know that the larvae could grow, but we don't even know if this changes are permanent or will have consequences later on a species able to live for 3000 ears. And sadly half of the coral reefs in the planet present in 1950 were lost in just a generation of humans.
