Zooxanthellae is the algae that has a symbiotic relationship with reef-building corals. These algae live within the coral's tissues and provide energy through photosynthesis, while the coral provides shelter and nutrients to the algae in return. This symbiotic relationship is crucial for the health and growth of coral reefs.
Living coral must remain relatively close to the surface of the water so that the symbiotic algae can have access to sunshine. The algae requires sunshine in order to complete photosynthesis which provides oxygen to the coral.

Algae.
Coral provides algae, specifically zooxanthellae, with a protected environment and essential nutrients. In return, the algae perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy, which they share with the coral as sugars and other organic compounds. This symbiotic relationship is crucial for the growth and health of coral reefs, as it supports energy production and enhances the coral's ability to build calcium carbonate structures.

the sediment from soil erosion can get to the ocean and the make the water cloudy or even bury the reef, so the algae there can't survive because there's no sunlight. without the algae, the coral animals eventually die.
Algae and coral have a symbiotic relationship, specifically mutualism, where both organisms benefit from each other. The most notable example is the relationship between corals and zooxanthellae, a type of photosynthetic algae. The algae live within the coral's tissues, providing them with essential nutrients through photosynthesis, while the corals offer the algae protection and access to sunlight. This partnership is crucial for the health of coral reefs, as it enhances growth and resilience.
Algae are the most common plant found in coral reefs.
