Stalagmites grow up.
Stalactites are mineral formations that hang from the ceiling of caves, formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water. Stalagmites are similar mineral formations that grow upwards from the cave floor as the water drips down, eventually meeting the stalactites to form columns. Together, stalactites and stalagmites can create beautiful and intricate cave formations.
Corals are a bunch of tiny animals together; that's why you shouldn't touch it (other than it being sharp, and sometimes poisonous). Seaweed is a plant, similar to a grass on land, I believe.
Stalagmites are a physical change.
Stalactites and stalagmites are found in limestone caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites come up from the ground.
soft corals live deeper water than hard corals because soft corals do not create a hard outer skeleton as the hard corals do.
Stalactites and stalagmites are found in limestone caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites come up from the ground.
Corals are plants.
Corals are not decomposers. They are consumers.
Hermatypic corals contain zooxanthellae (a symbiotic algae), whereas ahermatypic corals do not. It is like saying that hermatypic corals are photosynthetic, where ahermatypic corals are non photosynthetic.

Stalactites hang from the ceiling of a cave, while stalagmites grow upward from the cave floor. This means stalactites point downwards and stalagmites point upwards.
