The complement system is one of the first molecular defences in innate immunity, and antibody-dependent complement-mediated lysis is probably one of the most efficient early control strategies developed by the host.
Corals elaborate a variety of molecular defences that including the production of UV-protective sunscreens, (MAAS), antioxidants, antioxidant enzymes, chaperones and heat shock proteins, which are often inducible under conditions of enhanced oxidative stress [ 307], including conditions that elicit coral bleaching [ 314, 315].
