Slower than what?
Structural adaptations of coral include their hard exoskeleton made of calcium carbonate, which provides support and protection. Their polyp shape helps maximize surface area for feeding and allows for efficient water flow. Additionally, the symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae within their tissues provides them with energy from photosynthesis.
