How do fish rely on coral reefs?

Answer 1

how they addapt is, there body features change to help them blend in, and they can be resistant to some poisnsess liquids in the coral. for example, there are fish that lay on the bottom of the sea floor and blend in because there skin is a tannish brown and matches the sandy bottom

Answer 2

Over 55% of the world's reefs are threatened by overfishing (fishing too much fish, in which it doesn't give them enough time to reproduce). Coral reefs provide homes and nursery grounds for many fish species. Depletion of parrotfish and surgeonfish populations allows algae to grow unchecked, causing some coral reef ecosystems to transform from a beautiful seascape of corals to fields of rubble and seaweed. Overfishing of certain species near coral reefs can easily affect the reef's ecological balance and biodiversity. Fishing impacts in coral reef areas, when ecologically weak, can lead to the depletion of key functional groups of reef species in many locations, with flowing impacts on coral reef habitats and associated species and ecosystems.
