Yes. We funded this (and they may still?). Madeleine van Oppen and others are working on it.https://www.science.org/content/article/researchers-embrace-radical-idea-engineering-coral-cope-climate-change …

the only thing i've heard about is efforts to reseed the world's reefs with red sea coral that are already super down with hot temps

I remember reading that a species of coral in the Indian Ocean is tolerant to significantly higher temps than other coral. The goal was to isolate this genetic difference and engineer it into other species. I think the worst case scenario is just to start seeding it everywhere.
