Sponges on shifting reefs: holobionts show similar molecular and physiological responses to coral versus macroalgal food

IntroductionMany coral reefs witness an ongoing coral-to-algae phase shift. Corals and algae release large quantities of (in)organic nutrients daily, of which a large part is utilized by sponges.
