Did you know with this? The heat speeds up the dinoflagellates and makes them excrete toxic compounds the coral can’t handle. So they disgorge themself of tissue and algae. They actually take part of their body and vomit it out. That’s what occurs. They still retain some algae but if the temperature doesn’t go down? They starve.
But yeah they actually barf their flesh and zooxanthellae. To stop the acids from killing the polyp. I just recently learned they evict flesh too. https://declin.eu/objects/3e985296-88d6-414a-b9af-4b73fd056896
