Each reef supports its own unique community of inhabitants and the demographics of these communities are in a constant state of change. As a result, the inhabitants of coral reefs are many and diverse. There are, however, similarities in reef communities. For example, there are always 3 types of reef dwellers: 1. Builders: the organisms that caused the reef to be there at all, like the coral; 2. Exploiters: organisms that take advantage of the reef's protection and bounty, like fish. Some of these organisms add their hard skeletons or shells to the reef structure; 3. Destroyers, like the starfish that feed on the reef builders. Also, many types of animals are common to all, or most, coral reefs: fish, mussles, shrimp, lobsters, sharks, etc. Use the links to learn more about reefs and their communities, and how they interact.
