The correct response is:
**The polyps get most of their food from the algae.**
Coral polyps have a symbiotic relationship with algae, specifically zooxanthellae, which live within their tissues. The algae perform photosynthesis, providing nutrients and energy to the polyps while benefiting from the carbon dioxide and other waste products provided by the polyps.
