How do animals survive in the coral reef?

Answer 1

during storms you mean? some (crabs for instance) feel changes in water temperature and head out for deeper and safe water, others hide on the inside closer to land, and ride the storm out there, others die.

Answer 2

Algae grows far faster than coral, and so without herbivores to graze the algae, it would quickly grow over the coral, and smother it.

Answer 3

Well some animals have specialized body armor. And some hide within the coral reefs many plants with special camouflage, or even because they are small enough to do so.

Answer 4

they can either run or hide .
