corals and algae

Yes, it's algae, known as zooxanthellae. They live in the coral cells that give these animals their color. They also provide food and oxygen, products of photosynthesis, to corals. And, on the other hand, corals shelter the zooxanthellae, protecting them, in addition to providing carbon dioxide and nutrients.

This phenomenon represents a serious ecological problem, as coral reefs provide food and habitat for many species of living beings.
