What is an Atoll formed around?
A long extinct oceanic volcano, when the volcano died the sea floor under it slowly dropper causing the volcano to sink beneath the ocean. As it sank a ring shaped coral reef formed around it and continued growing as the volcanic remnant and the reef on top of it continued sinking.

No sign of the volcano can be seen on the surface, but sonar scans reveal its remnant as a seamount on the seafloor.
