Coral polyps in symbiosis. (A) Light micrograph of an Acropora digitifera polyp, with an endosymbiotic Symbiodinium visible as multiple brown spheres in the coral tissue. (B) Confocal micrograph of a naturally fluorescing Pocillopora damicornis polyp. Red spheres are Symbiodinium with chlorophyll autofluoresence. Blue and green pigment is from host-derived fluorescent proteins.
