Corals live in a partnership with single-celled algae known as zooxanthellae. Coral bleaching occurs when this relationship breaks down under stressful conditions - such as higher-than-normal sea temperatures - and the coral host expels its zooxanthellae. With the algae and the pigments they contain gone, the coral tissue is left transparent, revealing the bright white skeleton beneath.

GREAT VIDEO!!! EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO SAVING OUR REEFS. The Aquarium of Niagara (Niagara Falls, NY) is in the running for a grant through the Pepsi Refresh Project.
