What are Corals?
A detailed look at stony and soft corals

The coral reef is an ecosystem of wonderment and fascination. With the abundance of beautiful fishes and the amazing array of corals and other invertebrates, it makes it hard not to be drawn into this underwater world. The corals are often overlooked by the casual observer, because the fishes are so amazing. This is a shame since corals are the backbone of the reef and their behaviors and interactions with other animals on the reef can be quite interesting. In this feature article Mitch Carl, aquarist for the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo, takes a close look at this group of important marine invertebrates.
