Hey everyone!
We're back! again!
Do you know what different corals eat?
Some corals eat zooplankton (tiny drifting animals) or small fishes. Others consume organic debris. Many reef- building corals derive their nutrition from zoonxanthellae.
How they eat :
1. Some corals secret films or strands of mucus to collect fine organic particles.
2. In reef-building corals, to mobile filaments originating from the stomach cavity can capture larger food particles. These filaments are also capable of digestion.
3.The stomach cavities of colonial corals are interconnected. Meaning that food obtained by one polyp can be passed to other polyps in the colony.
4.After all that, a polyp excretes solid wastes through its mouth. (ew!)
