Zooxanthellae are minute, single-celled algae which live inside most species of coral and help to give it colour. They photosynthesise in the same way that all plants do, and in return for their protection within the tissues of the coral they process carbon dioxide and nitrous waste produced by the coral, and feed it with sugars produced in photosynthesis.

DrBlueThumb: Taking pics can be done like mine: dslr,tripod,remote switch,exyension tubes and a 50 mm lens. it's the cheapest way to go but you have very few inches of focus distance. So I put the camera against the tank and the coral up against the glass Mar 27, 2017 12:10:39 GMT *

DrBlueThumb: I like to take pics in the dark. and then focus stack them using photoshop. This is done by taking several pics @ diferent focuses and using the program to blend them together. Mar 27, 2017 12:16:24 GMT
