Difference between Environmental issues with coral reefs and Scleractinia

Environmental issues with coral reefs vs. Scleractinia

Human impact on coral reefs is significant. Scleractinia, also called stony corals or hard corals, are marine animals in the phylum Cnidaria that build themselves a hard skeleton.

Similarities between Environmental issues with coral reefs and Scleractinia

Environmental issues with coral reefs and Scleractinia have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Algae, Calcium carbonate, Caribbean, Coral, Dinoflagellate, Ocean acidification, Orbicella annularis, Polyp, Species, Symbiosis, Zooxanthellae.

Algae

Algae (singular alga) is an informal term for a large, diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that are not necessarily closely related, and is thus polyphyletic.

Orbicella annularis

Orbicella annularis, commonly known as the boulder star coral, is a species of coral that lives in the western Atlantic Ocean and is the most thoroughly studied and most abundant species of reef-building coral in the Caribbean to date.

Species

In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition.

Symbiosis

Symbiosis (from Greek συμβίωσις "living together", from σύν "together" and βίωσις "living") is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms, be it mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic.
