    The document summarizes arguments made regarding whether corals are formed by polyps. It discusses two arguments made that polyps are not equally distributed across coral plants and are not found as frequently on structures near the surface of water as in deep waters. The summary responds that nature has protected coral's delicate structures and that near-surface corals may be more susceptible to damage from wave action. It suggests the key point of debate is the internal structure of corals, not external observations alone.
