Abstract Some reef corals form stable, dominant or codominant associations with multiple endosymbiotic dinoflagellate species (family Symbiodiniaceae). Given the immense genetic and physiological diversity within this family, Symbiodiniaceae community composition has the potential to impact the nutritional physiology and fitness of the cnidarian host and all associated symbionts. Here we assessed the impact of the symbiont community composition on the metabolome of the coral Montipora capitata in Topic Editor Morgan S. Pratchett

Ka¯ne‘ohe Bay, Hawai‘i, where different colonies can be dominated by stress-tolerant Durusdinium glynnii or stresssensitive Cladocopium spp. Based on our existing knowledge of these symbiont taxa, we hypothesised that the metabolite profile of D. glynnii-dominated corals would be consistent with poorer nutritional support of the host relative to those corals dominated by Cladocopium spp. However, comparative metabolite profiling revealed that the metabolite pools of the host and symbiont were unaffected by differences in the abundance of the two symbionts within the community. The abundance of the individual metabolites was the same in the host and in the endosymbiont regardless of whether the host was populated with D. glynnii or Cladocopium spp. These results suggest
