A niche is an animal's specific place in the coral reef. It includes the part of the reef where the animal lives (in a burrow, beneath a ledge, on the seafloor, etc.) as well as its behavior in that place (what it eats, whether it feeds during the day or night, etc.). Because each animal occupies its own individual niche, many different animals are able to live together in the reef.
