The most famous polyp colonies are called, "Coral".
Coral polyps live together in colonies that form coral reefs, primarily in warm, shallow marine waters. These colonies consist of many individual polyps that are connected by a shared skeleton, allowing them to work together for feeding and protection. Coral reefs are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions, where they thrive in clear, sunlight-rich waters.
Corals are organisms that live in colonies of polyps and secrete an exoskeleton of calcium carbonate. These structures form the framework of coral reefs, providing habitat for a diverse array of marine life.
Where do polyps live
Some eukaryotic or prokaryotes live and function together in colonies.
A coral polyp is an individual coral cell, and when polyps stick together, they form coral a.k.a. Coral Polyp Colonies. Later, when the polyps die, their skeleton (which is like a hard shell) Strengthens the coral formation.
Colonies
No, archaea and protists are very similar but they do not live together in colonies. Protists is anything that doesn't fit in the category of the other kingdoms. Hope this helped!
The Cyanobacteria do live in water and are often found living together in clumps known as colonies.

Not all corals are colonial; some live as solitary polyps. While the majority of coral species form colonies composed of many genetically identical polyps that work together, certain species, like the mushroom coral (Fungiidae), exist as individual, solitary polyps. These solitary corals can thrive independently and do not rely on a colony structure for survival.
The class of cnidarians that typically only live as polyps is the Anthozoa. This class includes sea anemones and corals, which exist primarily as polyps and do not have a medusa stage in their life cycle.
