Answer 2

Coral reefs are formed when one coral stays plotted down in one area. After time, that coral dies, and another attaches to that dead one and lives there. This happens over and over to form coral reefs. Coral reefs are built mainly from corals and sea anemones. Since corals are colonial animals (meaning, they grow in colonies), their skeletons grow together in large masses. These skeletons build up a chain of large stony structures called a reef. New corals grow on the reef. When the corals die, their skeletons add up to the reef. The cracks and holes are filled with sand and the remains of other reef plants and animals. Only the outermost layer of the reef consists of live corals and sea anemones. It takes a long time for a coral reef to form.
