Beautiful corals

Corals are formed by the aggregation of corals, which are small mollusks, and corals usually include soft corals, gorgonian corals, red corals, stony corals, horn corals, hydra corals, flies and sheng corals.

Polyps are a small kind of life, with the characteristics of social life, generally living in the sea water near the equator at a temperature of 20 ° C, mainly plankton, other animal larvae, small animals as food. These small polyps live together, and due to physiological properties, they absorb seawater carbon dioxide and calcareous reactions to form limestone to cover the bones of the corals, and generations of coral bones are piled up to form corals.

Red coral grows in 200m deep water, its polyps are white, growing on black, crimson, red bones, which is different from most coral polyps with bright colors and living on gray-white bones.

The brain coral is a round coral with deep grooves, roughly like the human brain, the coral tentacles of this type of coral are arranged on both sides, and the arrangement is very neat, the mouth is at the bottom, this tight arrangement is very obvious to resist the impact of the waves.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef is 2,000km long, the largest coral reef in the world, and the largest built object created by living things. However, in order to form a coral reef, the corresponding polyps need to live in bright, warm and clean water, and the requirements cannot be unschedulous.

Gorgonians rely on its pinnate tentacles to prey, and they are produced in the direction of the regular flow of seawater, making it easy to catch small animals floating in the water.

Sea mass fan corals, which have upright bones like the veins of leaves, can grow at a rate of 5% per year.

Sea lily corals are shaped like petals, these polyps are a filter animal, there are five brachiopods, after swallowing the animal, the brachiopods hang down, like flowers withering, in fact, they are full and resting, just like people need to take a nap after lunch.

Mushroom corals, these coral stones form as individual giant polyps, are very loosely connected, and the edges even secrete corrosive fluid, damaging the adjacent coral edges.

Rose corals, the corals formed by these polyps have folds and small spaces in shape and structure, providing living space for seaweed, which provides food to the polyps, and in fact, everyone forms a wonderful symbiotic relationship.

Organ corals, these kinds of polyps are closely arranged one by one, the tentacles are intertwined, almost covering the surface of the coral, which increases the probability of catching food, and these polyps and other types of polyps eat at night, they eat during the day. In fact, this coral is similar to the staghorn coral, except that the staghorn coral structure is loose, can not withstand the impact of the waves, and needs to live in a coral reef with shelter protection.

There are many kinds of corals, and there are many postures, which you can search for and enjoy.
