Soft polyps and hard polyps are not the same. Soft polyps, also known as pedunculated polyps, have a stalk and typically have a softer consistency. Hard polyps, also known as sessile polyps, do not have a stalk and are firmly attached to the tissue. Both types of polyps can be precancerous or cancerous and require medical evaluation and possibly removal.

Yes, coral is a living organism. It is made up of thousands of tiny, individual animals called polyps that secrete calcium carbonate to form coral structures. Coral reefs are diverse ecosystems that support a wide range of marine life.
Polyps reproduce asexually through a process called budding. This involves the formation of new polyps from the original polyp, which then detach and grow into independent individuals. Polyps can also reproduce sexually by releasing eggs and sperm into the water for fertilization.
