What is a Coral Reef?
• CaCO3 from living things
• Reef builders– Corals– Algae– Sponges– Bryozoans– Shells

Reef Corals (Hermatypic)
• Anthozoans (no medusa stage)• Scleractinian corals = “true” corals• Zooxanthellae
– Symbiotic dinoflagellates• Photosynthesize• Help deposit skeleton
• Most are colonies from founder polyp– Interconnected digestive and nervous
systems
