Internal (broken) surface of a head of the stony coral, Montastrea annularis, that has been split vertically. Concentric dark bands are the green bands referred to in the text. Vertical lines are now empty calices of individual polyps. The living coral tissue occupies the topmost layer of ca. 3 mm. thickness. structure over volumes as large a few , the algal filaments grow more or less straight and parallel to each other. In any particular field of view, the number of forks is roughly equal to the number of filament terminations. Filaments are assumed to be straight and perfectly cylindrical in the calculations. Since neither is precisely the case, the estimate of volume of algal filaments is lower than the actual value. By count in volumes of the order of in the darkest green zone, there are approximately 1500 algal filaments per At an average diameter of 10 /A per filament, the skeleton would contain 12% by volume of algae. D. Pigments The layer of coral polyps with its contained zooxanthellae forms a continuous sheet over the surface of the colony. The photosynthetic pigments of these algae.
