Coral Reefs - are stony structures formed underwater . They are mostly madeup of the framework of dead corals . They come in different sizes , shapes , and colors making them look like a beautiful sea garden .
Coral - are large colonies of small animals called POLYPS . These polyps reside within a cup-like calcium carbonate skeleton .
Brown algae are important in the formation of coral reefs, as they provide a substrate for coral larvae to settle and grow. These algae also play a role in stabilizing the reef structure and providing food for various reef organisms.

I would also call underwater rock formations that are often inhabited by various marine species a type of reef as well.
