Coral fights and eats other coral primarily due to competition for space and resources in their environment. When corals come into contact, they may engage in aggressive behaviors, such as using specialized cells called nematocysts to sting or overgrow neighboring corals. This competition is driven by the need to secure territory for growth and access to sunlight and nutrients. Additionally, some coral species may consume other corals as a survival strategy to enhance their own growth and reproductive success.
