• Possibly the most bio-diverse ecosystems in the world.
• Total coral reef area: 285,000 km2 = 0.09% of ocean area.
• Small oasis of densely packed life in the vast ocean.

Remember which classes of Cnidarians will be found as corals?
Anthozoa Hydrozoa
Lack a medusa phase Most alternate life stages between medusa and a polyp
ANTHOZOA ARE THE CORALS!!!!!!!!!
![Page 4: The Corals firefox-a&hs=3Rf&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&biw=1252&bih=583&tbm=isch&pr md=imvns&tbnid=k4rqYDu38pmxxM:&imgrefu](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff6c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
3 Classes of Cnidarians
Anthozoa Scyphozoa• Alternate between
polyp and medusa stage
• Medusa stage usually larger and more developed than the polyp
• The familiar jellyfish
• Small in size, usually mistaken for algae
• Most alternate life stages between medusa and a polyp
• Often form colonies
• true corals, anemones, sea pens, sea fans
• Lack a medusa phase, remain polyps throughout life cycle
Remember your mnemonic
Hydrozoa

What corals eat. Some general strategies.
• Omnivores. • Use Nematocysts to capture prey. • Photosynthetic energy.• Scavengers. • Sessile and motile.• Filter feeders.

Coral reefs
• Tropical waters where coral reefs found are typically very nutrient limited.
• How can such rich communities grow in such an unproductive environment?

zooxanthellae
• Green algae (photosynthetic)
It’s just a fun word to say!

zooxanthellae
• Many Cnidarians live in symbiosis with zooxanthellae.
• They can be nearly completely dependant on them for energy.
![Page 10: The Corals firefox-a&hs=3Rf&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&biw=1252&bih=583&tbm=isch&pr md=imvns&tbnid=k4rqYDu38pmxxM:&imgrefu](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff6c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Zooxanthellae and corals
• Most reef-building corals contain zooxanthellae• Mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship
![Page 11: The Corals firefox-a&hs=3Rf&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&biw=1252&bih=583&tbm=isch&pr md=imvns&tbnid=k4rqYDu38pmxxM:&imgrefu](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff6c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Zooxanthellae and coralsYou tell me what they each gain?
Zooxanthellae• Protected environment• Compounds needed for
photosynthesis– Nitrogen– Phosphorus– Carbon dioxide
corals• Oxygen• Help remove waste • Most importantly
zooxanthellae supply the coral with glucose, glycerol, and amino acids, which are the products of photosynthesis. The coral uses these products to make proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and produce calcium carbonate
![Page 12: The Corals firefox-a&hs=3Rf&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&biw=1252&bih=583&tbm=isch&pr md=imvns&tbnid=k4rqYDu38pmxxM:&imgrefu](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff6c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Zooxanthellae and corals
• As much as 90 percent of the organic material photosynthetically produced by the zooxanthellae is transferred to the host coral tissue (Sumich, 1996). This is the driving force behind the growth and productivity of coral reefs (Barnes, 1987; Levinton, 1995).
• This is why reefs are where they are. Shallow warm water.
![Page 14: The Corals firefox-a&hs=3Rf&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&biw=1252&bih=583&tbm=isch&pr md=imvns&tbnid=k4rqYDu38pmxxM:&imgrefu](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff6c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Light in the water column and zooxanthellae photosynthesis
What can we infer about the habitat of zooxanthellae from these two graphs?
Notice that their photosynthetic activity is lower in the blue green spectrum.
![Page 15: The Corals firefox-a&hs=3Rf&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&biw=1252&bih=583&tbm=isch&pr md=imvns&tbnid=k4rqYDu38pmxxM:&imgrefu](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff6c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Zooxanthellae major role determining the locations of corals
• Water must be:
• Shallow (< 30 m)• Warm (at least 23o C)• Within limited salinity range (26-46 ppm)• Clean and clear
![Page 16: The Corals firefox-a&hs=3Rf&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&biw=1252&bih=583&tbm=isch&pr md=imvns&tbnid=k4rqYDu38pmxxM:&imgrefu](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff6c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Distribution of corals• Limited distribution in latitude (30oN – 30oS) and
depth (< 30 m)
Why? Light and temperature

Hard corals vs. Soft corals
Hard corals• Reef builders. • Rigid skeleton made of calcium
carbonate (CaCO3)• Secrete calcium cabonate
Soft corals• No skeleton• No calcium carbonate secretions
![Page 19: The Corals firefox-a&hs=3Rf&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&biw=1252&bih=583&tbm=isch&pr md=imvns&tbnid=k4rqYDu38pmxxM:&imgrefu](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff6c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Reef Building
• Reefs are made from the CaCO3 skeletons of dead hard corals.• Most established reefs are 5000-10,000 years old.

Range and Habitat• Range: Low to mid intertidal zones of the Pacific Ocean, ranging
continuously from Unalaska to Point Conception. It also occurs in areas of cold upwelling, possibly as far south as Panama.
• Habitat: • Exposed coastlines, bays and harbors, on seawalls, rocks, tidepools, and
pilings. • From above low tide line, to about 50 ft. (15 m) depth. • Each Giant green anemone is solitary, but is often in tentacle-tip contact
with others in favorable tidepools and conditions, and can be found in densities of up to 14 per m².
• Although their habitat can become crowded, they do not display aggressive behaviors, seen in their smaller relative, A. elegan-tissima.
• A. xanthogrammica is restricted to the lowest tide zones, where surf and currents continually provide a fresh supply of water, and cannot survive where there is industrial pollution, sewage, or sludgy water.

FeedingCapture prey with stinging nematocysts in their tentacles.
Cause no harm to humans.
To prevent from desiccation, giant green anemones will retract their tentacles and close, during low tides.

Why do Giant Green Anemones live on rocky shores??? You tell me.
• Crashing waves bring foods into the tentacles of the anemone
![Page 34: The Corals firefox-a&hs=3Rf&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&biw=1252&bih=583&tbm=isch&pr md=imvns&tbnid=k4rqYDu38pmxxM:&imgrefu](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff6c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Predator-Prey relationships
Predators
• Nudibranch’s and Snails feed on the tentacles, and column .
• Sea slugs eat anemones, including the stinging cells, but they don’t get stung. The slugs use the anemones stingers for defense against predators, by moving them onto their own bodies.
Prey
• Prey:mussels, sea urchins, small fish, and crabs.
![Page 35: The Corals firefox-a&hs=3Rf&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&biw=1252&bih=583&tbm=isch&pr md=imvns&tbnid=k4rqYDu38pmxxM:&imgrefu](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649f1a5503460f94c2ff6c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Feeding Behavior• The larvae preferentially settle in mussel beds, in anticipation of this future food source. • Later, they migrate downward to take up their characteristic position, in the pools and
channels below the musssel bed, where they wait for food to drop down from above. • Prey are paralyzed and captured after coming into contact with the anemones stinging
tentacles. Once the prey has been paralyzed, A. xanthogrammi-ca pulls these animals into its mouth, located in the center of its crown.
• When digestion is finished, it excretes the waste through the same opening. • The epidermis and tissues lining the gut of A. xanthogrammica contain living photosynthetic
algae zooxanthellae. These symbiotic protists can produce organic nutrients through photosynthesis that may also contribute to the nutritional needs of the anemone.
• Mussels and snails are washed into anemones waiting tentacles, as the wave’s crash against the shore. The anemone eats the animals, then spits out the clean shells. Empty snail shells, may become homes for hermit crabs.
• The hermit crab Pagarus samu-elis often walks up and down the column of the anemone, even walking through and stroking the tentacles and probing the mouth opening, all without being stung. It is possible that the hermit crab becomes so coated with mucus from the anemone that the anemone responds as if the crab were its own tissue.
• Hermit crabs which are not previously associated with the anemone may be eaten, or simply taken into the gastro vascular cavity and then later released.
The hermit crab can have the same relationship to the Giant Green Anemone as these clownfish do with this anemone.

Reproduction• Giant green anemones
release sperm and brownish eggs in late spring and summer, producing pelagic, planktotrophic larvae. (Open ocean, plankton eating, larvae)
• Larval development has not been closely followed, but the larvae swim or float freely for some time, and become widely dispersed.
What are the two major reproductive strategies of Cnidarians????
Sexual and Asexual. The Giant green anemone does not reproduce asexually.
