Corals are marine animals in class Anthozoa of phylum Cnidaria typically living in compact colonies of many identical individual "polyps". The group includes the important reef builders that inhabit tropical oceans and secrete calcium carbonate to form a hard skeleton.
A coral "head" is a colony of myriad genetically identical polyps. Each polyp is a spineless animal typically only a few millimeters in diameter and a few centimeters in length. A set of tentacles surround a central mouth opening. An exoskeleton is excreted near the base. Over many generations, the colony thus creates a large skeleton that is characteristic of the species. Individual heads grow by asexual reproduction of polyps. Corals also breed sexually by spawning: polyps of the same species release gametes simultaneously over a period of one to several nights around a full moon.
Although corals can catch small fish and plankton, using stinging cells on their tentacles, most corals obtain the majority of their energy and nutrients from photosynthetic unicellular algae called zooxanthellae that live within the coral's tissue. Such corals require sunlight and grow in clear, shallow water, typically at depths shallower than 60 metres (200 ft). Corals can be major contributors to the physical structure of the coral reefs that develop in tropical and subtropical waters, such as the enormous Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Other corals do not have associated algae and can live in much deeper water, with the cold-water genus Lophelia surviving as deep as 3,000 metres (9,800 ft). Examples live on the Darwin Mounds located north-west of Cape Wrath, Scotland. Corals have also been found off the coast of the U.S. in Washington State and the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.
Darlene Joyce Zschech ( /dɑrˈliːn ˈtʃɛk/; born Steinhardt on 8 September 1965 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) is an Australian Pentecostal worship leader and singer-songwriter who primarily writes praise and worship songs. She is the former worship pastor of Hillsong Church and is currently a member of Compassionart, a charity founded by Martin Smith.
As a young adult Zschech sang jingles for a number of international companies including McDonald's, KFC and Coca Cola.
In 2003, Zschech released her first solo album in nine years, entitled Kiss of Heaven. She had earlier released a vinyl album in 1987 called Make The Choice and a cassette album in 1993 called Pearls & Gold. Change Your World followed in 2005. She has since released two albums in 2011 called Simply Darlene and You Are Love. In addition to writing songs, Zschech has written four books: Worship (1996), Extravagant Worship (2002), The Kiss of Heaven (2003) and The Great Generational Transition (2009).
Zschech and her husband were the founding executive directors of Mercy Ministries Australia. In 2009, after an 18-month investigation, they were named by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission as being two of several former directors of Mercy Ministries Australia likely for the organisation's "false, misleading and deceptive conduct". They claimed their services were free, but in fact "residents had to sign over their Centrelink benefits during their stay."

Plot: Wade Mann, is convinced that the independently wealthy lifestyle is the life for him. Joined by his drinking buddies, and financed by his mother, they open Global Future, an office for marketing environmentally friendly products. Ads in the local paper entice tree-huggers to an interview that quickly turns into a pyramid pitch. One such ad brings in Dave Dodge, a man who walks the fine line between genius and insane. Soon, Wade is inundated by Dave and his followers, a modern-day drum circle. The two worlds and collide as the business spirals down and the drums rise up. With its original musical sense and a visual style all of its own, Naked Nerve Endings will make you filthy rich, just sign on the dotted line. The project started when director Lance Lindahl encountered an African Drum Circle. He had thoughts of a script about pyramid scheme and random people coming in off of ads in the newspaper. Merging the concept with the drum circle gatherings, he began to develop the story of Wade Mann, a mid twenties man who leaps for the chance on a get rich quick scheme. They buy a desk, chairs, and office supplies, as well as the over priced environmental friendly products to get him his mother and his best friend Tony started in the business. After running ads, they draw in Dave Dodge, the stories antagonists. Davis is a nine-year member and seven year director of Stomp! He brings a great style of acting as well as original music from both him and the drummers. So Davis' character attends the so-called interview, and jokes at the opportunity of riches, but insists he and his followers shall perform drum circles in the back room of the office. Wade, under pressure gives in, and the back room of the office turns into a meeting of all the local area hippies involved in the drumming. You either sell soap or make it. The project was shot on 24p with one of the best cinematographers in the mini-dv generation. Erik Murphy has shot nine features with this being the summation of his intuitive camera work.
