在对6种西印度群岛石珊瑚、4种印度太平洋石珊瑚和1种珊瑚藻的健康菌落进行的实验中，使用放射性Ca 45作为示踪剂。菌落的不同部位以不同的速率沉积存款钙。在黑暗中，石灰的沉积速度比在光照下快2-3倍，在存在动物花色素的地方，石灰的沉积速度降低;在动物花色素被去除的地方，石灰的沉积速度降低。在存在Diamox（一种特异性碳酸酐酶抑制剂）的情况下，钙摄取也减少。
Radioactive Ca45 is used as a tracer in experiments performed on pieces of healthy colonies of 6 West Indian and 4 Indo-Pacific stony corals, and 1 coralline alga. Different parts of a colony deposit calcium at different rates. In darkness lime is deposited 2-3 times faster than in light, in forms where zooanthellae are present; where these have been removed there is a lowering of the rate. The calcium uptake is also reduced in the presence of Diamox, a specific carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.
