Research how coral reefs are formed. What types of animals live there What important roles do cnidarians play in coral reefs How do the tiny animals get their food How do algae help the corals?
Coral reefs are formed in shallow, warm, and clear bodies of water, such as oceans and seas, where the ocean temperatures are consistently between 64 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The reefs are formed by tiny creatures known as cnidarians, or “stinging cells”. These organisms are filled with stinging cells that they use to capture prey. Coral reefs are home to a variety of animals including fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and sea turtles. These animals take shelter in the coral and feed on the nutrients available in the reef. Cnidarians play an important role in coral reefs as they provide food for the other animals. They also help keep the coral clean by consuming the dead material in the reef. Cnidarians get their food by catching tiny crustaceans and other small organisms, as well as by consuming the microscopic plankton that is present in the reef. Algae also help the corals by providing them with essential nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which are necessary for the growth of the coral. Algae also provide oxygen, which helps keep the coral healthy. Additionally, algae help to keep the reef environment stable by absorbing excess carbon dioxide and nutrients that can be harmful to the coral.
