Endolithic algae influence the skeletal microstructure and porosity of reef-building corals
Abstract Coral skeletons provide habitat for a euendolithic community, forming a pigmented band within the skeleton, where Ostreobium is often a dominant group. Euendoliths actively penetrate live coral skeletons, but how they use and modify skeletal structure is not properly understood. This study...
