What is coral polyps |
|
Answer» Coral polyps are tiny, soft-bodied organisms related to sea ANEMONES and jellyfish. At their base is a hard, protective LIMESTONE skeleton CALLED a calicle, which forms the STRUCTURE of coral reefs. Reefs begin when a polyp attaches itself to a rock on the sea floor, then divides, or buds, into thousands of clones Thanks |
