Yes, corals are invertebrates, they do not have a spine, central nervous system, head, or internal skeleton which are characteristics of vertebrates.
More information:
Corals belong to the phlyum Cnidaria, which are invertebrates that include the corals, sea anemones, and jellyfish.
No, corals are not carnivores. They are actually marine invertebrates that are classified as animals. They are actually classified as cnidarians, which are a type of invertebrate that can be carnivorous, but corals themselves obtain most of their energy through a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae.
Scientists have seen bleached corals on the reefs.
Cnidarians belong to the animal phylum Cnidaria. They are characterized by their radial symmetry, tentacles armed with stinging cells called cnidocytes, and a simple sac-like body structure. Examples of cnidarians include jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones.
A honey bee is an invertebrate because it does not have a backbone or spinal column.
Hard corals (Scleractinia) - reef-building corals that create calcium carbonate skeletons. Soft corals (Alcyonacea) - lack stony skeletons and have a flexible, fleshy appearance. Brain corals (Family: Mussidae) - named for their distinctive brain-like appearance. Staghorn corals (Genus: Acropora) - characterized by their branching, antler-like growth forms.

No, coral is not a decomposer. Coral is a marine invertebrate that forms colonies and plays a vital role in providing habitats for many other marine organisms. Decomposers are organisms that break down dead organic matter.
soft corals live deeper water than hard corals because soft corals do not create a hard outer skeleton as the hard corals do.
A collentrate is an invertebrate.

An invertebrate.
Corals are not decomposers. They are consumers.
Corals are plants.
