The flesh of the coral polyp is supported primarily by a hydrostatic skeleton formed by the water pressure within its body cavity. This structure is reinforced by the mesoglea, a gelatinous substance that provides additional support and helps maintain the polyp's shape. Additionally, coral polyps secrete calcium carbonate, which forms the hard exoskeleton that provides structural support for the entire coral colony.
