Soft Coral

Soft Coral

Unlike hard coral, the species of sea creatures which are known as soft coral lack a hard, rigid skeleton. Soft corals, with their thick bodies resemble stout trees. These soft bodied creatures which are often mistaken for vegetation have 8 tentacles that have tiny feather-like projections called pinnules. These pinnules are used for catching food as it passes.
