Hi! Again...
Corals can reproduce both sexually and asexually. An individual polyp may use both reproductive modes within its lifetime.
Asexual reproduction
Environmental disturbances may dislodge some polyps or portions of colonies from the parent colony and deposit them on another part of the reef.
Sometimes, newly developing coral colonies split and form separate colonies.
Often a polyp produced by sexual reproduction initiates growth of a colony asexually by budding. Budding occurs when a portion of the parent polyp pinches off to form a new individual.
Budding enables the polyp to replicate itself several times and at the same time maintain tissue connections within the colony. Later, the same polyp may reproduce sexually.
Budding occurs when a portion of the parent polyp pinches off to form a new individual.
