Question

Corals feed on eachother true or false

Answer 1

False. Adult corals are sessile organisms, i.e. they don't move around. They are tiny organisms whose shells are what we generally see.

Answer 2

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Corals obtain their food from the living algae present in their tissues or by catching and digesting prey. The majority of the reef-forming corals exhibit a specific association with tiny algae known as zooxanthellae. The algae thrive within the coral polyps, utilizing sunlight to produce sugar for energy.  

This energy is mediated towards the polyp, offering much-required nutrition. In return, the coral polyps offer the algae with a protective home and carbon dioxide. Corals also consume tiny floating species known as zooplankton.
