Branching fire coral is not a true coral, even though it looks like one. It is a relative of jellyfish that lives on shallow tropical reefs in the western Atlantic and can sting people who touch it. It is an important part of the reef community.1

Hello arano
It grows on shallow coral reefs, rocks, dead corals and even the hulls of wrecked ships, at depths of up to 40 metres. Divers are the people most likely to meet it.1

It feeds on plankton. Its hairlike tentacles sting prey to immobilise it, then pass the food into a stomach-like polyp for digestion.1

Humpito

1

When it grows near a sea fan, it grows special 'attack' branches that wrap around and smother the fan.1

2

It is not a true coral. It belongs to the class Hydrozoa and is more closely related to jellyfish than to stony corals.1

3

Small fish and shrimp shelter among its branches and seem unaffected by its venom.1

4

It is one of the first corals to bleach in warm water, but it recovers from damage faster than most other corals.1

5

About 75% of its energy comes from microscopic algae living in its tissues.1

Feññinoowo fenaande

Fenaande: It is a true coral like the stony corals that build reefs.

Goonga: It is not a true coral. It is a hydrozoan, more closely related to jellyfish.1

It reproduces by fragments breaking off and growing into new colonies, and by budding short-lived, jellyfish-like medusae that release larvae.1
