Another cause of coral death to which much importance has been attached is the exposure caused by the receding tide, for it has been said that corals cannot survive even a temporary exposure to the sun and air. Since Darwin first claimed this as an axiom of coral bionomics, a great deal has been taken for granted with regard to the effects of exposure, and yet every fresh investigator has attached less and less importance to it.
