MB is non-toxic to coral health compared to oxybenzone (BP-3). (A) Schematic experimental timeline showing the two administrations of PBS control, DMSO 0.005%, 1 μM MB, and 1 μM Oxybenzone on day 1 and day 4, respectively. (B) Representative images of coral colonies growing on the stone base in the seawater containing different chemicals on day 0 (before adding chemicals), day 1, day 3, and day 7. Red arrows indicate the death of corals in the Oxybenzone-treated experiment on day 7.
