What is Types and Zones of Coral Reefs about?
Coral reefs are underwater structures made of calcium carbonate secreted by coral polyps. Coral polyps are tiny marine animals that live in colonies and secrete a hard exoskeleton. There are three main types of reefs: fringing reefs next to shores, barrier reefs separated from land by deep channels, and atoll reefs surrounding a central lagoon without land. Reefs grow best in warm, clear, shallow, sunny waters with wave activity.
