The correct response is: The polyps get most of their food from the algae.
In many coral reef ecosystems, polyps (the individual organisms that make up corals) have a symbiotic relationship with algae known as zooxanthellae. The algae provide the polyps with food through photosynthesis, while the polyps offer the algae a protected environment and access to sunlight.
