[Coral-List] Does GFP reduce bleaching stress?

Hey guys,

I have had this idea I wanted to ask people about. Fluoresce reduces the energy of incoming light and reflects energy outwards (I believe). 

If you insert tons of proteins to code for GFP into coral larvae/eggs, would the coral be more resistant to bleaching?
