Corals are also animals. So they use respiration
I have seen may blue soft corals in my 35 years of scuba diving in the carribean. As for hard corals, I am not certain. Hi Pootie!
Yes, soft corals can be food for certain organisms such as certain shrimp, snails, and nudibranchs. Some fish species may also feed on soft corals as part of their diet.
Corals are primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which forms the hard skeleton structure. They also contain symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae, which provide corals with energy through photosynthesis. Other elements found in corals include oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and trace elements necessary for their growth and survival.
Volcanic activity can create new land forms and habitats for corals to colonize and grow on. However, volcanic eruptions can also release harmful chemicals and result in increased water temperatures, which can stress or damage coral reefs. Overall, the relationship between volcanoes and corals is complex and can have both positive and negative impacts on coral ecosystems.
It's fishes and it's amazing corals and reefs.
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.
No, corals are not edible.
Yes, corals are composed of an exoskeleton
dynamite fishing and muro ami can destroy corals so if there are less corals, less corals will be produced.
No corals doesn't eat zooxanthellae they only eat zooplankton. Zooxanthallae helps corals to live and keeps corals colourful.They live on the coral polyps.
Many corals, specifically hermatypic corals, contain symbiotic algae that provide the coral with sugar from photosynthesis. Algae also feed zooplankton, which corals feed on. Basically, algae provide corals with food, indirectly.

There is none. Corals are cnidarians.
