it lives off its atoms and when sea urchins go to eat them and they drop a little piece then it gets covered by dirt and the dirt reproduce it
Most coral colonies reproduce by releasing eggs and sperm into the water simultaneously, a process known as broadcast spawning. This synchronized mass spawning event usually occurs once a year. Additionally, some coral species can reproduce asexually through methods such as fragmentation or budding.
Brain coral live mostly in the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Red Sea. These coral reproduce asexually, which means that they do not need and egg and sperm to reproduce.
External
Yes, corals can reproduce sexually through a process called spawning. During spawning, corals release eggs and sperm into the water simultaneously, allowing fertilization to occur externally. This process leads to the formation of new coral colonies.
It can't. But it might attract spawning coral from other reefs to settle on it.

Corals reproduce both sexually and asexually.

Coral polyps can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Sexually, they release eggs and sperm into the water during spawning events, leading to fertilization and the development of larvae. Asexually, they can reproduce by budding, where a new polyp grows from the parent polyp, or by fragmentation, where a piece of the coral breaks off and forms a new colony. This combination of reproductive strategies allows corals to adapt and thrive in various environmental conditions.
Corals do not flower in the traditional sense like land plants, but they do reproduce through a process called spawning, where they release eggs and sperm into the water. This usually occurs during specific times of the year, often synchronized with lunar cycles. Additionally, some coral species can reproduce asexually by budding or fragmentation. The reproductive process is crucial for the formation of new coral polyps and the maintenance of coral reefs.
If you are reffering to Fungia, a genus of corals, its purpose is the same as all animals, to live, grow, and reproduce.
Usually during the month of November coral spawn in the Great Barrier Reef area, during night time. About 75% of all hermatypic corals "broadcast spawn" by releasing eggs.
