- Deep water coral, also known as cold water coral, are most often stony corals belonging to the phylum Cnidaria. One of the most common cold water corals is Lophelia pertusa. Fishing methods such as deep water trawling affect Lophelia pertusa negatively. These methods tend to break corals apart and destroy reefs.

Thank you!arrow_forwardExplain 3 possible reasons why coral reefs are so diverse?arrow_forwardSea pens are distinctly different from sea anemones in that sea pens are solitary, while anemones are colonial. the medusa stage of sea pens is mobile, while anemones have a sessile medusa. sea pens are composed of two or more different kinds of polyps, while anemones only have one type. sea pens break down decaying organic matter, while anemones are carnivorous. sea pens contribute to formation of islands and reefs, while anemones destroy them.arrow_forward
