By Miguel Rodriguez. What is a Coral Reef?. Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems held together by calcium carbonate exoskeletons secreted by corals, which support and protect the coral polyps.. Rebecca Cebulka. What are Corals?. Marine invertebrates that live in colonies. Similar to anemones. Some can catch small fish and plankton. Typically live in deep ocean. Most obtain nutrients from symbiotic algae which live in the coral’s tissues. By Harsha Lakamsani. Introduction. Coral Reefs are made of limestone structures of dead and living stony coral. Coral polyps are formed by red and green coralline algae. Coral gets color from . zooxanthellae. Handley et al “Geography Focus Stage 4” Pearson: Sydney p82. “The Rainforests of the Sea”.
