The gastrodermis is a tissue layer found in organisms such as cnidarians (e.g., jellyfish and corals) that lines the digestive cavity. Its primary function is to facilitate digestion and nutrient absorption, as it contains specialized cells that secrete enzymes to break down food particles. Additionally, the gastrodermis plays a role in the overall physiology of the organism, contributing to the distribution of nutrients throughout the body.
Nematocysts are specialized stinging cells found in cnidarians, such as jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals. Their primary function is to capture prey and provide defense against predators. When triggered, nematocysts release a coiled thread that can inject toxins into the target, immobilizing or harming it. This mechanism is essential for the survival and feeding of these marine organisms.
Proverbs 8:11. Job ch 28 is also good even though I did not find the word ruby, talks of other stones and metals. ------------ Actually some versions DO reference 'rubies' (KJV,NIV, ASV,YLT), others translate this term as 'pearls', 'jewels' or 'corals'.
Coral exhibit radial symmetry, which means their body structure is arranged around a central axis. This allows them to have multiple identical sections radiating outward, similar to the spokes of a wheel. This symmetry is particularly evident in the arrangement of their polyps, which are the individual coral animals. Some corals may also show bilateral symmetry in certain stages of their life cycle or in specific species.
coelenterates in which the polyp stage is absent or at least inconspicuous: jellyfishesCnidaria is a phylum whose organisms are: radial in symmetry, may have cnidocytes (stinging cells), Diploblastic tissues, no coelomic cavity, two basic types of individuals: polyps (sessile - no capable of moving) and medusas (free floating). Three classes are found in Cnidaria: Hydrazoa, Scyphozoa (ex. Jellyfish), and Anthozoa (ex. corals)
soft corals live deeper water than hard corals because soft corals do not create a hard outer skeleton as the hard corals do.
Corals are not decomposers. They are consumers.
Corals are plants.
Hermatypic corals contain zooxanthellae (a symbiotic algae), whereas ahermatypic corals do not. It is like saying that hermatypic corals are photosynthetic, where ahermatypic corals are non photosynthetic.
Not all corals are reef-building. The IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) has determined that there are some 875 reef-building coral species worldwide. 27% of these are threatened, and another 20% are near- threatened, while there is insufficient data on another 17%.In the Great Barrier Reef itself, it is estimated there are about 350 species of reef-building corals.
No, corals are not edible.
Yes, corals are composed of an exoskeleton
dynamite fishing and muro ami can destroy corals so if there are less corals, less corals will be produced.
No corals doesn't eat zooxanthellae they only eat zooplankton. Zooxanthallae helps corals to live and keeps corals colourful.They live on the coral polyps.
Many corals, specifically hermatypic corals, contain symbiotic algae that provide the coral with sugar from photosynthesis. Algae also feed zooplankton, which corals feed on. Basically, algae provide corals with food, indirectly.

There is none. Corals are cnidarians.
