Individual coral organism (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

polyp

(Other definitions for polyp that I've seen before include "Sea creature; small growth" , "Vascular growth" , "Small unwanted growth in the body" , "Small growth (medical)" , "Small tumour" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
