An underwater scene shows a thicket of pale, branch-like stony corals whose tissues have lost pigment, revealing white CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) skeletons. The image depicts a colony of scleractinian anthozoans (phylum Cnidaria) within a reef habitat on the marine seafloor. In marine biology and ecology, this phenomenon reflects loss of endosymbiotic zooxanthellae (family Symbiodiniaceae) from the coral polyps. The biological role of these organisms is reef building and habitat provision, and their condition serves as a bioindicator of thermal stress.
