"By freezing these larvae, they can be held for literally hundreds of years," said Keri O'Neil with the Florida Aquarium.

The expanded complex doubles the original facility's capacity with state-of-the-art coral care equipment. The upgrades are worth $3 million.

Darryl Shaw, one of the figures behind the Ybor City Gas Worx project, will be leading the Sea Change fundraising campaign to fund the Florida Aquarium's expansion plan.

The three-phase expansion will begin in January 2023, with completion of the last part planned for 2025.

Around 200 sea urchins were spawned at the aquarium and released in a coral reef off the Florida Keys, where they will eat algae that can overrun the reef.

Initial necropsy results were inconclusive, but further tests are being conducted.

A study to determine whether pillar coral should be added to the endangered species list and protected instead found they have gone "functionally extinct." Now scientists are racing to breed new colonies in a rescue project at the Florida Aquarium.
