This is a link post Predatory coral eats jellyfish
This is a bit weird, I didn't even know coral had mouths! Or any digestive system for that matter.

Does this mean we'll soon have to think of a plural for coral?

*edit* according to the Wiki article the plural for coral is corals: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral fair enough then. I've always thought of coral like something akin to bushes growing in the sea, so I've learned something, some nice pics at the end too.

This is a normal post Not the nice jellies, surely!
I watched a video of some happy, podgey wee jellies. They grew algae under their wafty bits and followed the sun all day so the algae would be happy and grow. As long as they had sun, they had food. Little blobby gardeners. ~lovelles them~

This is a normal post Jellyfish are quite basic
Jellyfish are only sacks of nerves, and compared to other animals are quite basic.. hence why you see them just swimming towards a stimulus (i.e. food, light)

Also, those corals would probably take sometime to eat a jellyfish, i'm guessing about 10+ hours

This is a normal post Jellyfish are
in fact highly complex organisms, which display personality, complex thought processes, tool use, language, laughter, sadness and appreciation of the arts.
