Final generation prompt:
Create a museum-quality natural-history editorial illustration for a restrained contemporary news journal, landscape 3:2. A single exquisitely observed branching stony coral colony occupies the right two-thirds of warm ivory paper, its delicate cream skeleton and rust-pink living polyps rendered with the precision of an old scientific copperplate engraving, subtle chalk and mineral pigment. Show living tissue as fine warm points along the branch tips and a few exposed pale branches, without a before/after divide or a measured percentage. A tiny unobtrusive magnified polyp detail sits separately at lower left, visually connected only by a fine graphite leader to one branch. The relationship between a living surface and the structure it builds should be legible. Deep ink fine line, warm coral-red accents, a pale muted teal wash beneath, generous negative space and extraordinary texture, quietly luminous. This is a conceptual natural-history illustration, not a specific identified species, specimen, photographic bleaching record or quantitative dataset. Do not include text, numbers, logos, labels, chart panels, arrows, landscapes, mountains, dramatic underwater sunbeams or fantasy organisms. Whole-frame composition, no cropping of the coral tips.
