Summary

Description
English: Coral (Danafungia scruposa), Red Sea, Egypt. They are around 25 centimetres (9.8 in) in diameter and normally eat a variety of food from bacteria to mesozooplankton measuring 1 mm in diameter, although researchers observed the coral consuming the jellyfish Aurelia aurita. This was the first time such behaviour has been seen in the wild and it's not known how the coral captures jellyfish. Its polyps have diameters of up to 24 centimetres (9.4 in) and are oval or circular. D. scruposa is found in the eastern and western Indian Ocean, the eastern central, northwestern and western central Pacific Ocean, Japan, the East China Sea, the Red Sea, and eastern Australia. It's found at depths between 1 and 27 metres (3 ft 3 in and 88 ft 7 in) on the slopes of reefs.
