On the other hand, facultative mutualism exists when each species gets benefit from the other, but they aren't so dependent that they can't survive without the other. Unlike the algae and coral relationship we just went over that's obligate mutualism, the anemone and clown fish is an exampl...
mutualismparasitismsymbiosisSymbiodiniumzooxanthellaeThe consideration of ‘mutual benefits’ and partner cooperation have long been the accepted standpoint from which to draw inference about the onset, maintenance and breakdown of the coral-algae endosymbiosis. In this paper, I review recent research into ...
Corals form a dynamic meta-organism known as the coral holobiont, which involves a multipartite relationship between the cnidarian host, its endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae (family Symbiodiniaceae; [1]), a diverse array of prokaryotes (Archaea and Bacteria), viruses, and eukaryotes (fungi and no...
Coral reefs have amazing species diversity, which depends, in part, on a mutualism between the coral animal and a group of symbiotic algae that live inside the coral. The algae provide the coral host with approximately 90% of the energy it needs (from photosynthetic product). In return, the...
In this study we document three black reefs in the LI; measure iron concentrations directly from coral reef algae; investigate the effects of iron enrichment on corals, algae and their associated microbes; and charac- terize the microbial community associated with a black reef using metagenomics. ...
Corals associate not only with dinoflagellates, which are their algal endosymbionts and which have been extensively studied over the past four decades, but also with a variety of other microorganisms. The coral microbiome includes dinoflagellates, viruse
Their diet consists of coral polyps and algae, and their abundance is associated with healthy coral reefs. Parrotfish are brightly colored with a head shaped like a parrot’s beak. Their beaks help scrape algae off of dead rocks, helping the reefs rebuild. They may sometimes use their beaks ...

We used the BV-BRC platform to screen for genes encoding proteins that are potentially beneficial for corals33,43,82and their endosymbiotic algae83. Subsystems that are known to play a role in the health and resilience of corals, as described by Peixoto and colleagues33,43, and Matthews and...
