A new study in Nature Communications shows that corals actually keep their algae symbionts on a tight leash. The relationship is less mutualistic than originally thought.

Study reveals how corals control their algae population
A new study, published by KAUST researchers in Nature Communications, shows that corals, jellyfish, and other symbiotic cnidarians control their symbiotic algae by limiting the amount of nitrogen avai...

Today’s coral of the day is this striking Montipora species. Corals like this get their colors from microscopic algae called zooxanthellae. They’re the ones doing the photosynthesis, producing nutrients for the coral and getting protection and a home in exchange.

Symphysanodontidae is a small family of fishes known as Slope Fishes. They are only found in deep reefs, and very rarely seen. And they are especially hard to photograph because they really don't like our lights. But I got a good shot of one at 120m depth! #PerpetualPlanet

Sometimes it’s hard to remember just how little we’ve explored the oceans. This new discovery of a pristine reef around 400 meters deep in the Galapagos is a great example of how much more is out there to be found.
