Zooxanthellae are they really all they are cracked up to be
Who's got them? What do they do? What are they good for? and what's all this I hear about ATP partitioning and carbohydrate stores?

Corals with color.
Produce food for the host coral as well as protect it from UV light.
I'm clueless on the last part...

Spanky, I was wondering about your comments to the Ethical considerations on live rock collection because I can't seem to get any member comments! All I want is to know if there are any organizations that monitor live rock collectors and if so who are they. I think that the title may make some people think that I'm an outsider attacking our hobby, not a hobbyist! Oh and I'm really enjoying TRT! Its been great! Thanks!

Austin I didnt read your post yet on rock collection, but to answer it here yes thier is. MOst all collection countries are governed by a cities agreement. This agreement set quotas base on each particular item being collected and shipped abroad. Thier are a ton more conservation laws set in place when the country joins Cities. Is it drop dead perfect = no, but its a good start.

Don Zoo's dont protect a coral from UV that is done by pigments, thats also where the color of coral comes from.

I was under the impression that the zoo's are what cause the pigmentation in corals which is why they go white when the corals bleach and expell the zoo's.

Not really Don, they turn brown. 
Not all corals are white, we have one that's olive. When it bleaches, it's pink.
