I posted an article a couple of years ago, I think, where an experiment was done on some corals where the temperature was varied by 11F each day and it made for stronger corals.
The experiment demonstrated that younger corals were able to adapt more easily to the temperature swings than larger colonies.
Interesting that the same species of coral in Shimek's article can have different characteristics depending on where the coral originates.
I wonder how all the fragging that happens in captivity affects the corals that we wind up with.
