Default Re: Zooxanthellae and Pigments


Mike,

I almost bet you couldn't read that out aloud with a mouth full of plums:-)

Jokes aside, and dealing with your conclusion only at this stage, isn't it also correct that the reason that " most of the light waves corals use for growth are in the range of blue and violet" is because it is only that spectum of the sunlight that penitrates the water to the depth of the coral?

So in reality it is not the coral requiring that spectrum but rather the coral making use of the spectrum that is available?

I am only referring to coral feeding BTW

John
