For the hard corals itself light is not important, but for the zooxanthellae which operate photosynthesis. They produce reserve materials like sugars, of which the corals benefit. Zooxanthellae consume CO2 at the same time, this allows the corals to build a limestone skeleton and thus grow.
The zooxanthellae also benefit from this symbiosis. They receive some metabolic products from the stony corals which act as ’fertilizer’ and they are protected in the coral tissue.
