Zoochlorella (plural
zoochlorellae) is any single
green algae that lives
symbiotically within the body of many
freshwater and some marine
invertebrates and
protozoans. Zoochlorellae and zooxanthellae may both be found in the Pacific coast sea anemones Anthopleura elegantissima and A. xanthogrammica.
Zoochlorellae are responsible for the greenish color of sea anemone tentacles.
