Ever wonder how corals eat? They stick out their tentacles to capture plankton in the water. They have tiny stinging cells, called nematocysts, that act like a harpoon to capture the plankton, sticking it to the tentacle, which then deposits the plankton in the coral polyp's mouth.
Corals typically feed at night, when there is no light to feed the symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) that live inside their tissues, and plankton is more plentiful (because of the diurnal vertical migrations of zooplankton).
