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.
Corals are classified as members of the phylum Cnidaria, which includes other animals such as jellyfish and sea anemones. Within the phylum Cnidaria, corals belong to the class Anthozoa. They are further divided into two subclasses: Hexacorallia (includes stony corals) and Octocorallia (includes soft corals).
All corals are in the phylum Cnidaria.
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.

Yes there are lots of different types of reef corral, there are table corals, stags horn corals, brain corals, fire corals to name but a very few.
True. Zooxanthellae are a type of dinoflagellate that often live symbiotically in corals. Zooxanthellae are photosynthetic and provide the corals they live in with energy.
warm water
Corals reproduce both sexually and asexually.
They are Cnidarians or coelenterates .
soft corals live deeper water than hard corals because soft corals do not create a hard outer skeleton as the hard corals do.
Corals are not decomposers. They are consumers.
Corals are plants.
Hermatypic corals contain zooxanthellae (a symbiotic algae), whereas ahermatypic corals do not. It is like saying that hermatypic corals are photosynthetic, where ahermatypic corals are non photosynthetic.
