Coral reefs primarily inhabit the photic zone of the ocean, which is the upper layer where sunlight penetrates, typically extending to depths of about 200 meters (656 feet). This zone allows for photosynthesis, which is crucial for the symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) that live within coral tissues and provide them with energy. Coral reefs are most commonly found in warm, shallow waters, often near Coastlines in tropical and subtropical regions.
