barrier reef
Reef sharks are a group of shark species commonly found around coral reefs and coastal areas. They are typically small to medium-sized sharks that prey on fish, crustaceans, and other small marine animals. Reef sharks play an important role in maintaining the balance of the marine ecosystem.
A reef crest is the shallowest part of a coral reef, typically located at the very top where waves break. It can be characterized by high energy due to wave action and is an important zone for biodiversity on the reef.
Caribbean reef sharks primarily feed on a variety of fish, including reef fish, groupers, and snappers. They also consume crustaceans, octopuses, and occasionally small sharks and rays. Their diet is diverse and largely dependent on what is available in their habitat.
Coral reefs house over 16 different breeds of reef sharks. In the Galapagos Islands, the hammerhead shark can be found among the reef life there. In the Maldives, over 16 different breeds of reef sharks, among them, hammerheads and whale sharks, can be found in this reef. Off th shores of San Diego, there are a variety of sharks there, among them, great whites, blue, and mako sharks. ~ Hexedgirl92
A blacktip reef shark has a streamlined body and strong muscles that allow it to swim quickly and efficiently. It also has sharp teeth for catching and eating prey, and its dark coloration helps it blend in with its marine environment for hunting and avoiding predators.
A fringing reef
Yes
As an island sinks, the fringing reef gradually becomes a barrier reef. If the island continues to sink, the barrier reef eventually becomes a signature atoll.

fringing reefs
Fringing reef is made up of many plankton and grows 100-20 yards from the shore, such as a lagoon.
A fringing reef grows in shallow waters usually a few feet from shore or in lagoons. They are often confused for barrier reefs just by the overall growth of the reef. However, with barrier reefs there is usually a deep portion and located farther from shore than with a fringing reef.
A reef that surrounds a volcanic island is known as a fringing reef. These reefs usually form close to the shoreline and develop on the shallow-water platform around the island. The growth of corals on the fringing reef is influenced by the volcanic activity and the geography of the island.
Fringing reefs form very close to the shoreline of a volcanic island. They are the most common type of reef and directly attached to the shore without a lagoon separating them.
A fringing reef forms a continuous underwater "wall" for some distance, where as a "barrier Reef" are shorter in distances, and have large gaps in them....and will be between shore and the Barrier Reef..............Sea Rambo
