These pores work together as a system to capture prey and provide the coral with nutrients. This process starts with dactylozooids, which are long, hair-like stinging polyps that protrude from the dactylopores and possess clusters of stinging cells. These dactylozooids first capture the prey then the prey obtained is engulfed by gastrozooids, or feeding polyps, which are situated within the gastropores. While this method of capturing prey is one form of obtaining nutrients, fire corals also gain nutrients via their special symbiotic relationship with algae known as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zooxanthellae\" title=\"Zooxanthellae\" target=\"_new\" class=\"wiki-link\">zooxanthellae<\/a>. The zooxanthellae live inside the tissues of the coral, and provide the coral with food, which they produce through photosynthesis, therefore requiring sunlight. In return, the coral provides the algae with protection and access to this said sunlight.
