The presence of stress-tolerant symbiont Durusdinium  during the post-bleach period indicated the high adaptive capacity of Acropora spp. in tropical waters . Also Porites spp. were found to have higher thermal thresholds and showed better resilience to bleaching than species like Fungiid spp. . In the Philippines, during the 2010 bleaching event, the size structure of the mushroom coral was found to be affected . In Indonesia, it was found that branching coral diversity may decrease relative to massive, more resilient corals . This would have large-scale impacts upon reef biodiversity and ecosystem services, and reef metabolism and net reef accretion rates, since massive species are typically slow growers .
