Coral and fish (DI02225) Photo by Kathy Krucker

Fish shelter in a large coral. Coral reefs are formed from calcium carbonate secreted by tiny animals called polyps. These colonies of polyps and the reefs they create are among Earth's most diverse ecosystems, providing shelter for a wide variety of fish, mollusks, sponges, and other sea creat...
