How have animals adapted to coral reefs?Adaptation to Coral ReefsWe can see different marine animals in a coral reef. These marine animals have adjusted their way of living and have adapted in order to survive. Each of these ways of survival differs between species....
Corals, which were first seen as single entities in fossils over 400 million years ago, are incredibly old creatures that transformed into modern forms capable of constructing reefs in the last 25 million years. These coral reefs are exceptional structures (for example, they’re the largest biolog...

Coral reefs are formed by millions of tiny animals called corals. Corals secrete limestone, which hardens into cup-like shapes that stick together. As the animals die, younger corals attach themselves to the old cups. In this way the reef is built up. Sometimes corals form odd shapes. Organ...
