What are Corals?
Corals are colonial marine invertebrates within the class
Anthozoa of the phylum Cnidaria. Coral species include the
important reef builders that inhabit tropical oceans and
secrete calcium carbonate to form a hard skeleton.. Each
individual coral animal is called a polyp, and most live in
groups of hundreds to thousands of genetically identical
polyps that form a ‘colony’. The colony is formed by a
process called budding, which is where the original polyp
literally grows copies of itself.
Coral are generally classified as either “hard coral” or “soft
coral”.
