Chokwadi

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

Kuputsa ngano

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

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