Coral (Anthozoa)
Corals are marine invertebrates that belong to the class Anthozoa. They are known to form large clusters or colonies of identical polyps and are vital in the building of reefs in tropical oceans due to their calcium carbonate secretion. Some species actually have the ability to catch plankton and very small fish using their tentacle’s stinging cells, but most will use photosynthetic single-cells called Zooxanthellae for their nutrients. This process is what gives them their color.
