What is coral polyp?
A coral polyp is a small, tubular invertebrate animal with a mouth surrounded by tentacles. It is the basic unit of a coral colony and is responsible for secreting calcium carbonate to form the hard coral skeleton that makes up coral reefs. Coral polyps have a mutualistic relationship with zooxanthellae algae that live within their tissues and provide them with energy through photosynthesis.
How are coral reef born?
Corals have a number of different modes of reproduction. Most commonly, corals reproduce by budding. Basically a coral polyp splits down the middle, and two polyps result. This happens over and over again. Another common mode is sexual reproduction. Corals release egg and sperm into the water, the egg is fertilized, and the resultant creature is called a planula larvae. This planula larvae is basically just a cilliated ball of cells. It settles sometime later, and metamorphosizes into a coral polyp.
What is coral formed from?
The active agent in coral formation is a small animal called a polyp. The coral you see is a protective shell (like clam's shell) the polyp makes from calcium carbonate which the polyp extracts from seawater. As each tiny polyp dies its calcium carbonate shell is covered over by succeeding generations of polyps and their calcium carbonate homes.
