sunlight
What is ahermatypic corals?
Ahermatypic corals are non-reef-building corals that do not contribute to the formation of coral reefs. Unlike hermatypic corals, they typically lack symbiotic zooxanthellae algae, which means they do not rely on photosynthesis for energy. Ahermatypic corals can be found in various marine environments, often in deeper or colder waters, and include species such as black corals and soft corals. They play important ecological roles, providing habitat and shelter for various marine organisms.
