Is the reef building coral on the great barrier reef Medusa or polyp?

The reef-building coral on the Great Barrier Reef is primarily in the polyp stage. Corals are marine animals that belong to the class Anthozoa, and they exist as polyps, which are small, cylindrical structures that anchor to the sea floor and form colonies. Medusa is the free-swimming stage of some jellyfish and is not associated with coral formation. Therefore, it is the polyp stage that contributes to the growth of coral reefs.

Explain the difference between a polyp and a Medusa?

A polyp is anchored to substrate, like a rock or piece of coral. Anemones are polyps. They catch food with their tentacles and have the mouth on the upside. A medusa is swimming freely. Jellyfish are medusa stages. They catch food with their trailing tentacles and have the mouth on the downside. You can view polyps as the settled ´plant´ and medusa as the free-floating ´seed´, like in a dandelion. Though they aren´t plants at all, of course.
