Sometimes it can be difficult to write about the absolute newest theories of biology because much of it sounds like poppycock; however, some of the most important postulates of our time started in this way, and the hologenome hypothesis may be another of these theories which overturn many preexisting notions of biology. Doubtlessly it is a complex idea, and I can tell that you have researched this a lot, but I feel that you are struggling a bit to explain it in this article. Mainly, the section entitled "The Hologenome Theory" is where the ideas behind this concept should be clearly defined; however, it comes off more as a summary of the coral bleaching phenomenon. Even though the inspiration for this theory may have come from observations of coral bleaching, the major emphasis of this section should be on explaining the theory. Otherwise, I like the idea and will be anxious to see how you improve.
