Description
Fire coral is a marine organism that has the physical characteristics of coral, but is actually more closely related to Hydra and other hydrozoans. So they are really hydrocorals.
They gain nutrients through a symbiotic relationship with algae known as zooxanthellae.
I think they are beautiful, especially when backlit, but it is quite annoying to accidentally brush against one while diving.
