Hello!!
Did you know that the corals are home to many animals?
Here are some examples:
1.Sea stars, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins live on the reef.
2.Shrimps, crabs, lobsters, and other crustaceans find protection from predators in crevices or between coral branches
3.Octopuses, squids, clams, scallops, marine snails, and nudibranchs are all molluscs that live on or near the reef.
4.Both schooling and solitary fishes are essential residents of the reef ecosystem.
5.Some species of sharks, skates, and rays live on or near the reef.
6.Some sea turtles frequent reef areas.
7.Sea snakes are rarely found on reefs but do inhabit the waters around reefs in the Indo-Pacific.
8.Eels are one of the reef's top predators.
These are only SOME of the many animals living together with the coral reefs.
If the coral reefs are destroyed,all these animals will become extinct.
So, SAVE THE CORAL REEFS!!
