HOW IS THE CORAL REEF PLANT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PLANTS?
Be careful of this question because it is probably a trick. Coral is often mistaken for a plant. If you were to look at pictures of some of the different types of corals, such as sea fans and gorgonians, you might think they look a lot like underwater ferns or other types of water plants. Coral is also mistaken for rock by a lot of people. After all, it can be as hard as a rock, and when the polyps are inside their protective limestone “houses” the coral can appear can dull and lifeless. However, it is important to remember that coral is actually composed of tiny animals called polyps and their skeletons.
