Ecosystems: Coral Reefs

Corals are carbonate secreting organisms that all have a similar structure, the polyp. These are invertebrates that have a ring of tentacles used to capture their prey. Contrary to popular belief, corals are not plants, but are actually animals, and are closely related to sea anemones.

  • ​What are coral reefs? What are their characteristics?
