California Academy of Sciences: Science @ Home - Coral Nibbles
While munching on real reefs is not recommended, it’s an absolute must when you make your own edible “coral polyps.”
When you look up close at a coral reef, it’s easy to think that the
coral is a plant. But actually, corals are tiny animals. Each coral
colony is made up of many individual coral animals, each called
a coral polyp.
Learn about the parts of a coral polyp as you build your own
edible colony of coral!
