Coral Reefs are amazingly bio-diverse - They have an enormous range of species of flora and fauna
Coral polyps live on and in the limestone structures that make up the reef
Fish off all kinds live from the nutrient rich seas in and around the corals
It’s a scuba divers paradise – but the corals are extremely delicate and may be easily damaged
What amazing colours!
If the corals are damaged they die, nutrients decay and fish disappear
The coral reefs are second to the tropical rainforests for the richness and variety of life
But as said the corals are very delicate – one scuba diver’s foot on the coral and several square metres of coral die!
