The ultrastructure of symbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium sp., zooxanthellae) in the sea anemone Aiptasia pallida Verrill was examined in well-fed or starved (up to 120 days) anemones maintained under two light levels. Cell size of zooxanthellae was not affected by feeding history; however, both light and feeding history affected the relative cell volume of chloroplasts, lipids, and vacuoles. Stereological analysis of transmission electron micrographs showed that algae in low-light starved anemones had 10 times as much lipid (17.4% of cell volume) as those in well-fed anemones under the same light conditions (1.8%).
