Abstract

ABSTRACT We detected and characterized two distinct scuticociliate ciliates inside Acropora corals in the South China Sea. One, voraciously foraging on Symbiodinium , resembled the brown band disease of ciliates. The other, which is closely related to Paranophrys magna , grazed on detritus instead of Symbiodinium . These two ciliates may serve contrasting functions (competitor versus “cleaner”) in the coral-ciliate- Symbiodinium triangular relationship.
