Illustration of a branching coral colony composed of numerous tubular polyps with central oral openings. The organism is Acropora millepora, a colonial cnidarian (order Scleractinia) examined in marine biology and invertebrate zoology. In hierarchy, individual polyps occupy corallites within the coenosarc of the larger colony. Functionally, it deposits a CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) skeleton and, via symbiosis with photosynthetic dinoflagellates, contributes to reef accretion and habitat formation. The depicted entity is an animal (not algae), representing an anatomical structure at the colony and polyp levels.
