Corals ocean essential vision by KareL
Corals are marine invertebrates within the class Anthozoa. They form colonies of polyps that secrete calcium carbonate, creating a hard skeleton. These reef builders inhabit tropical oceans and are vital for biodiversity, supporting numerous marine species. Corals engage in a symbiotic relationship with algae, which provide them with nutrients and contribute to their vibrant colors. Unfortunately, corals face threats from climate change, pollution, and overfishing, leading to diseases and reef degradation. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these ecosystems, which are essential for marine life and human economies alike
