Zooxanthellae are single-celled dinoflagellates that live in the tissues of coral. The zooxanthellae and the coral exist in a mutually symbiotic relationship where the zooxanthallae supply the coral with nutrients (which it has obtained through photosynthesis) necessary for growth and calcium carbonate. The zooxanthallae also produces oxygen and assists the coral to remove wastes. In return the coral provides protection to the zooxanthellae from marine grazers and the zooxanthellae has access to nutrients that the coral excretes. Because the algae need light for their own photosysthesis, zooxanthellae limits the range in which corals can grow, i.e. unclouded water within ...
