Hard corals, also called Scleractinia are, due to their ability to deposit lime, heavily involved in the formation of coral reefs. They belong to the class Anthozoa and are usually built very simply. The majority of hard corals live in the tropics, and prefer water temperatures between 20 and 29 ° C and consists of a colony of individual polyps that repeatedly form new corals on old corals and so contribute to the growth of coral. The calcification mostly takes place through a symbiosis between corals and zooxanthellae.
