Answer: Tentacles are needed for night feeding

Explanation:

The mushroom coral is one of the most recognizable species of Hawaiian stony corals. It is named for its oval shape and the radiating skeletal walls (septa) that give this coral its mushroom-like appearance.

During the day, the mushroom coral provides nutrition for itself via photosynthetic activities with the aid of the zooxanthelae.

The tentacles are needed for night feeding, floating plankton are caught at night with the tentacles are dragged into the mouth of the coral for digestion.

Why were the conquistadors so successful in colonizing Central America?
Wewaii [24]

When the conquistadors arrived the Central Americas, the natives there at Central America believed the conquistadors as gods. So that is the reason why the Spaniards had effortless control over them at first.

What was even more effortless was how the conquistadors brought their own sickness to the natives from the ships and animals.
