What rock is made from organisms that live under water?
Limestone is a rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which often forms from the accumulation of the shells and skeletons of marine organisms, such as corals and mollusks. Over time, these organic materials can compact and cement together to create limestone deposits. Other similar rocks include chalk, a soft, white form of limestone made from microscopic marine organisms.

What is ahermatypic corals?
Ahermatypic corals are non-reef-building corals that do not contribute to the formation of coral reefs. Unlike hermatypic corals, they typically lack symbiotic zooxanthellae algae, which means they do not rely on photosynthesis for energy. Ahermatypic corals can be found in various marine environments, often in deeper or colder waters, and include species such as black corals and soft corals. They play important ecological roles, providing habitat and shelter for various marine organisms.
