Corallivores feed on coral using a variety of unique adaptations and strategies. Known corallivores include certain mollusks , annelids , fish , crustaceans , flatworms and echinoderms . The first recorded evidence of corallivory was presented by Charles Darwin in 1842 during his voyage on HMS Beagle in which he found coral in the stomach of ...

Animals of later generations may spend most their life in the water, coming ashore for mating.
