    Ok so I was reading about coral and it brought up zooxanthella protozoa.  I looked it up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooxanthella) on wiki and even though I have a degree in Nuclear Medicine more than half of it went over my head.  When I didn't understand terminology they were using and had to look it up, I didn't even understand the definition of the terms used to describe zooxanthella algea. 

    So has anyone really researched zooxanthella enough to describe it to me in lamens terms while still keeping the technical aspects in tact, or do I need to really dive into this topic?  I have some what of a basic grasp of it if that helps.
