YES
Coral limestone is formed almost completely from the calcitic skeletons of individual coral polyp colonies. Other limestones can be formed from the shells of marine organisms or be formed from the precipitation of calcite from a saturated solution, or a combination of the two. Chemically, they're pretty much the same.
The texture is fine-grained.
the world was once under water. this gave the coral conditons to grow.
Limestone is a metamorphic rock. Limestone is also has non-foiled texture.
Limestone is a type of chemical sedimentary rock that is predominantly composed of the mineral calcite or aragonite. It forms primarily from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal, and fecal debris. Limestone often contains fossils and can vary in color and texture.
The main types of limestone are chalk, coral limestone, travertine, and tufa. Chalk is soft and white, coral limestone contains coral and other marine organisms, travertine is formed by hot springs, and tufa is a porous rock formed by calcium-rich water.

No coral isn’t limestone.
Limestone is a common sedimentary rock composed mainly of the mineral calcite. It forms from the accumulation of shells, coral, and other calcium-rich materials. Limestone can be further classified based on its texture and composition.
The two main types of limestone found in the Caribbean are coral limestone, formed from the skeletal remains of marine organisms like coral, and oolitic limestone, composed of small round grains called ooids. These limestone types are common in the region due to the prevalence of coral reefs and marine environments that have existed there over millions of years.
No. The Bahama are made of limestone, with much of the material coming from old coral reefs.
Yes, the Bahamas were formed by coral reefs that have accumulated over thousands of years. The islands are composed of limestone rock formed from the skeletons of coral polyps and other marine organisms.
