more about zoxanthelli and color.
Is what the naked eye sees a refraction of light or a photochemical responce or both? What is it that makes the colors we see from them? I know keep algae inside. That this gives the color but is it a refraction, a reflection, or a reaction. please expalin futher?
All zooxanthellae are brown. Its the proteins in the host tissue which yields color.
