[Coral-List] Question concerning cold temps and coral stress.

[Melissa Keyes]

 If we have a much colder than usual winter  here in the Caribbean, how might the corals be affected?  Do they  stress and perhaps die as a result?  Do they lose their  Zooxanthellae as with excessive heat?  Which corals are more  sensitive to cold?
  
  Thanks in advance for any replies,
