Coral is actually not a plant. Corals are colonies made up of tiny animals called polyps. Hard corals have polyps with 6 tentacles, or multiples of 6 tentacles. Soft coral polyps have 8 tentacles. Ten species of corals are Favia, Goniopora, Hydnophora, Echinophyllia, Tubinaria, Acropora, Staghorn, Brain, Fan, and Elkhorn. Ten plants that are found in coral reefs are Halophila ovalis, Halodule uninervis, Zostera capricorni, Trichodesmium, coralline algae, Sargassum, Turbinaria, Sea lettuce (Ulva), sea grapes (Caulerpa) and turtle grass (Chlorodesmis).
