Coral – Reef Builders of the Ocean

Corals are marine invertebrates belonging to the class Anthozoa within the phylum Cnidaria. Living in compact colonies made up of countless tiny polyps, corals are the foundation of tropical reef ecosystems. By secreting calcium carbonate, they form hard skeletons that build vibrant coral reefs. These structures not only provide habitats for a wide variety of marine life but also create breathtaking underwater landscapes that inspire divers and photographers alike.
