Colorful
Captivating
Coral
Reefs

A
coral
reef
is
made
up
mostly
of
limestone
laid
down
by
tiny
invertebrate
animals
(animals
without
backbones)
called
polyps.
The
polyps
live
together
in
large
groups
called
colonies.
Each
polyp
is
about
the
size
of
a
pencil
eraser
and
is
protected
by
its
own
little
limestone
cap.
As
the
colony
grows,
the
polyps
manufacture
more
limestone,
and
the
reef
gets
bigger.
Corals
that
make
reefs
by
laying
down
limestone
are
called
hard
corals.
Coral
reefs
are
found
in
clear
tropical
seas
or
nearby,
where
the
water
temperature
stays
above
65
degrees
Fahrenheit.
Reef-­‐building
corals
thrive
only
as
far
below
the
surface
as
light
can
reach.
They
gradually
disappear
in
water
deeper
than
100
feet.
