Caffeine as a cause of coral bleaching: Effects of caffeine on
... marine life. Studies have shown that low concentrations of caffeine can induce bleaching in coral; i.e. caffeine causes coral to release their algal symbionts (zooxanthellae). Corals may recover from this, but bleaching events often lead to death. We hypothesized that caffeine causes the zooxanthell ...
