Question

Explain about the coral polyps and give an example brainly

Answer 1

Coral polyps are tiny, soft-bodied organisms related to sea anemones and jellyfish. At their base is a hard, protective limestone skeleton called a calicle, which forms the structure of coral reefs. Reefs begin when a polyp attaches itself to a rock on the sea floor, then divides, or buds, into thousands of clones.

Answer 2

Coral polyps are short - lived microscopic organisms , which live in colonies. They flourish in shallow , mud free and warm waters. They secrete calcium carbonate. The coral secretion and their skeletons form coral deposits in the form of reefs. They are mainly of three kinds : Barrier reef , Fringing reef and atolls.
The Great Barrier Reef of Australia is a good example of the first kind of coral reefs.
