Our coral reefs are made up of different types of corals. Stony corals, which have calcium-based, limestone skeletons, are the primary reef-building corals. ... The algae provide the coral polyp with food, oxygen, and its brilliant color, while the coral provides the zooxanthellae with safe shelter.

Hi..

Here is the information which you wanted..

A polyp in zoology is one of two forms found in the phylum Cnidaria, the other being the medusa. Polyps are roughly cylindrical in shape and elongated at the axis of the vase-shaped body. In solitary polyps, the aboral end is attached to the substrate by means of a disc-like holdfast called the pedal disc, while in colonies of polyps it is connected to other polyps, either directly or indirectly. The oral end contains the mouth, and is surrounded by a circlet of tentacles.
