Solution

The correct option is A Millepora
Fire corals are colonial marine organisms that look rather like real corals. They are not corals but are related to Hydra and other Hydrozoans belonging to the family Milleporidae. The hair of these fire corals or Millepore possess clusters of stinging cells to capture prey and hence, called as 'stinging corals'.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
