Corals that produce coral reefs live in warm and shallow water, ... 1) Depth – Reef building corals live in between the water’s surface and a maximum depth of about 90 meters. Few corals will be found past 50 meters below the surface, however. Corals that do not live in symbiosis with algae do not need sunlight to...

As they grow, reefs provide structural habitats for hundreds to thousands of different vertebrate and invertebrate species. Although corals are found throughout the world, reef-building corals are confined to waters that exhibit a narrow band of characteristics. ... Home / About Coral Reefs / Coral Reef Biology...

Transferability analysis showed that 25 of these markers can be successfully amplified in one of the most ubiquitous Indo-Pacific corals Acropora hyacinthus. The marker collection reported here is the largest ever developed for any reef-building coral.

This shot of a reef on the north coast of Jamaica vividly captures the large amount of shade cast by the dominant elkhorn coral Acropora palmata. Because reef-building corals depend upon zooxanthellae for colony growth, the shaded areas are not good areas for vigorous coral growth, which depends upon light.
