How do coral reefs form?
Coral reefs form as coral polyps secrete calcium carbonate to create hard skeletons that build up over time. These skeletons create the structure and foundation for the reef, which then grows as more coral polyps settle and reproduce on top of existing skeletons. Over time, this process creates the diverse and intricate ecosystems we know as coral reefs.
