Coral belongs to the phylum Cnidaria, and its classification can vary widely depending on the specific type of coral. Most corals are classified under the class Anthozoa, and they belong to several different families and genera. For example, the well-known reef-building corals belong primarily to the family Acroporidae and the genus Acropora. Other common genera include Montastraea and Porites.
