Frequently asked
Why are coral reefs so important to the ocean?
Coral reefs are called the rainforests of the sea because they support about 25 percent of all marine fish species, despite covering less than one percent of the ocean floor. They provide food, shelter, and breeding grounds for countless creatures. Reefs also protect coastlines from storms and erosion, making them vital for both nature and human communities.
How do corals actually grow and build reefs?
Corals are living animals that live in colonies of thousands of tiny creatures called polyps. Each polyp builds a hard skeleton made of calcium carbonate, which stacks up over hundreds of years to form the reef structure. These skeletons interlock together, creating the colorful rocky formations that fish and plants call home.
What makes coral reefs so colorful?
Coral gets its brilliant colors from tiny algae called zooxanthellae that live inside the coral's tissues. These algae produce food for the coral through photosynthesis and give it vibrant colors ranging from bright blues and purples to oranges and reds. When corals become stressed, they expel this algae, turning white in a process called bleaching.
