An optical feedback loop involving the coral host and its photosynthetic microalgal symbionts is responsible for the extreme coloration of corals during certain bleaching events. Colorful bleaching occurs after brief or mild exposure to heat or nutrient stress. Importantly, it can indicate good recovery prospects for the affected corals.
在某些白化事件中，珊瑚宿主及其共生的光合微藻之间的光学反馈环是珊瑚呈现极端颜色的原因。短暂或轻度暴露于热或营养胁迫后会发生有颜色的白化。重要的是，它可以表明受影响的珊瑚有良好的恢复前景。
