Reef building corals, also known as hard corals, use many feeding styles. They can feed on particles in the water, other free floating living animals such as zooplankton, or they can rely on their symbiotic dinoflagellates.
Coral reefs are in peril and I am part of an international team of scientists working to understand coral reefs. how will they survive in the future? How are they going to change? Will they be here for our grandchildren?
