The mode of nutrition is not the only aspect of the symbiosis that has been debated. The mechanics of symbiosis have also been debated. Among these issues is the question of how the zooxanthellae are obtained by juvenile clams. The specific location of zooxanthellae in the clams and how they are transported within the clams will also be addressed in this study. By clicking on a species you will be able to find out more about the species.
