By dimitri koustoumbis code Hard Corals Some types of hard coral are Acropa sp, Brain coral, Acroporidae sp, Avia lizardensis, Coelentrate sp, Mushroom coral, Tabletop coral, Porites sp, Staghorn coral, Turbinaria sp and many more. Hard corals are corals that form calcium carbonate skeletons as they grow, giving reefs their structure. Hard corals gain energy by catching food with their tentacles. Corals use their tentacles to filter and capture food like plankton and small fish from the water coral. Nematocycts lining the tentacle skin help to paralyze the food so that the tentacles can deliver it to the mouth.
