It starts dying when people start playing foot ball on it and they finally get the technology to build house underwater.
Many fish will die
Global warming cause bleaching of corals, ie, the algae which provide the colour to corals die out resulting in the loss of colour. When the producers die out of course the ecosystem can no longer survive and hence it is lost forever.
They would die.
Corals don't really die, they can reproduce asexually though budding and branching, and sexually, but the original corals don't seem to ever die of "old age"
no! that is just not possible. corals are cnidarians. when the minute creatures called polyps die, they secrete a hard exoskeleton consisting of calciumcarbonate. they secrete it around them to form a hardened structure called corals. corals are basically dead and hardened polyps.
Most corals can only live in warm, fairly shallow waters of about 40 ft. deep. Any deeper and the water would be too cold and the corals would die off.
soft corals live deeper water than hard corals because soft corals do not create a hard outer skeleton as the hard corals do.
Corals are plants.
Corals are not decomposers. They are consumers.
Hermatypic corals contain zooxanthellae (a symbiotic algae), whereas ahermatypic corals do not. It is like saying that hermatypic corals are photosynthetic, where ahermatypic corals are non photosynthetic.
No, corals are not edible.
Yes, corals are composed of an exoskeleton
