Are coral jellyfish or sponges cnidarians?
Corals and Jellyfish are cnidarians, sponges are not.
How are colonies of corals and sponges formed?
Corals and sponges can both reproduce either sexually or asexually. In sexual reproduction eggs and sperm are broadcast into the ocean, where they meet and form a larvae. The larvae drifts around for a bit, and then settles to the bottom. If it is a suitable place, the larvae with turn into a new coral polyp or sponge. Then the coral or sponge reproduces asexually to form the larger colony.
Is a coral a poriferan?
Corals are animals of the phylum Cnidaria, whereas:-Sponges are animals of the phylum Porifera.
What is benthic sessile?
Benthic sessile organisms are marine organisms that live on the ocean floor and remain attached to a substrate, such as rocks or coral. They do not move around like mobile organisms but instead filter feed or rely on currents to bring them food. Examples of benthic sessile organisms include sponges, corals, and mussels.

Sponges and corals are animals why?
Sponges and corals are classified as animals because they belong to the kingdom Animalia, which is characterized by multicellular organisms that are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their food from other organisms. Sponges lack true tissues and organs but exhibit cellular organization and can respond to environmental stimuli. Corals, on the other hand, are colonial organisms made up of polyps that have specialized structures for feeding and reproduction. Both exhibit characteristics of animals, such as movement at some life stages and forms of reproduction.
Are sponges related to coral?
Sponges and coral have a lot in common. they just sit on rocks, filtering food particles, living in quite large colonies, and provide habitat for other animals. But, in a way, sponges and coral are totally different. Sponges and coral come from different animal phyla. Phyla is the most basic of all animal distinctions. sponges are among the most simple of all animals, not having true tissues and deterring predators primarily by their lack of nutrition. They are covered in little pores lined with cells with flagella which are used to circulate water through the sponge and take in food particles. Sponges can also live in very deep water. Corals are related to jellyfish and anemones. Even more conplex than sponges, they have differentiated tissue and a true gut. Corals look like single individuals but they are actually huge colonies made of many geneticaly idenical polyps just a few mm in diameter. these polyps have stinging tenticals, and instead of depending on food particals, corals get most of their nutrition from algae (the algae also gives them their color!) Corals can't live as deep as sponges can.
