The beautiful green leaves on a palm frond help trap the suns energy in the form of sugar- enabling the tree to grow through a process we all know as photosynthesis. And bonus… oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere- helping us to breathe! Thanks Mr. Palm Tree!
Similar to a palm tree, Zoanthid corals (pictured here in our Cosmic Coral shorts) also get most of their energy from the sun! Zoanthids host symbiotic algae in their tissues that feed them through photosynthesis, just like the palm fronds help to feed the palm tree and nurture its growth. Nature is pretty freaking cool!
