There are more than 500 species of coral, such as sea fan coral, hard brain coral, bubble coral, mushroom coral, staghorn coral and soft fire coral, grow together. They have a wide range of shapes, sizes and colours, yet they all have the same basic body plan- a simple sacklike stomach and a mouth that is surrounded by a ring of poison filled tentacles. They live side by side with goldfish, giant clams, surgeonfish and many other sea dwellers.
