I apologize for the confusion. When the temperature in the ocean becomes too hot, it can lead to a phenomenon called coral bleaching. During coral bleaching, the algae that live in symbiosis with coral become stressed and either leave or are expelled by the coral. This results in the coral appearing pale or bleached. So, yes, the algae do become pale when the temperature in the ocean becomes too hot.
