Nan kout tèm, koray ki gen senbyotik fleksib yo ka bat oswa zooxanthellae; ak yon ogmantasyon nan abondans tansyon zooxanthellae toleran (tankou sa yo ki nan klad D) espere ak yon frekans ogmante nan kondisyon klowòks. Potansyèl la pou adapte yo ak ogmante lanmè-sifas tanperati depann sou limit la nan varyasyon jenetik pou tolerans chalè, tan an jenerasyon nan lame a koray ak zooxanthellae, ak fòs nan seleksyon.

In the short term, corals with flexible symbioses may shuffle or switch zooxanthellae; and an increase in the abundance of thermally tolerant zooxanthellae strains (such as those of clade D) is expected with an increasing frequency of bleaching conditions. The potential to adapt to increasing sea-surface temperatures depends on the extent of genetic variation for heat tolerance, the generation time of the coral host and zooxanthellae, and the strength of selection.
