Not coral?

Fire coral is a member of Cnidiria along with jellyfish, sea anemones and corals. Why is it not considered a "true ". Is it because it is class Hydrozoa (not Anthozoa)?

The main coral page ahs several references to fire coral, and does not demark it as "not a real coral". These pages need to have synchronised facts.--ZayZayEM (talk) 01:22, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Picture

Is that murky, badly composed oil painting the best we can do for a picture?--74.101.4.95 (talk) 12:41, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

eMed attribution

"Fire corals have a bright yellow-green and brown skeletal covering and are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical waters. ... Divers often mistake fire coral for seaweed, and accidental contact is common." Either Wikipedia needs to offer attribution to this page: https://www.emedicinehealth.com/wilderness_fire_coral_cuts/article_em.htm#what_are_the_symptoms_of_fire_coral_cuts_and_stings or that page should offer attribution to Wikipedia.
