Sharks are cautious animals and generally avoid areas with a lot of obstacles like coral reefs that could potentially injure them. They prefer open waters where they can move freely and have access to their prey. Additionally, the structures of coral reefs are not ideal for their hunting strategies.
How do Hawksbill turtles catch their food?
Hawksbill turtles primarily feed on sponges, but also consume other invertebrates like jellyfish, anemones, and small fish. They use their hawk-like beak to tear off pieces of food and then crush them with their powerful jaws. Hawksbill turtles are known to forage along coral reefs, using their sharp beak to access hard-to-reach places where their favorite prey are found.
In Vietnam what color is the coral rattler or 2 step snake?
One snake was called a "Two-step" by GI's, because the word was you could only walk two steps after being bitten before you died. This may have been a myth to keep GI's alert in the bush, because there are no known snakes in the world that can kill that fast. We know it as a coral snake. The fastest known killer, Africa's Black Mamba, can kill in about 2-1/2 minutes if bitten directly into a major artery or vein that goes straight to the heart. Anyways, the Coral snake are a large group of elapid snakes that can be subdivided into two distinct groups, Old World coral snakes and New World coral snakes. Red on yellow is the term that the snake is real and red on black is a snake that looks like a coral snakes.

What is hard coral like?
Hard Corals and Soft Corals are not so easily defined because some corals which fall into the Soft Coral category are not actually soft. The basics are like this: Corals start out as free-floating larvae. The larva eventually attaches itself to a hard surface and becomes a polyp (individual coral). The polyp is a very tiny animal (a few millimeters in diameter) looking something like a sea anemone. Coral polyps live side by side in colonies. The Hard coral (such as Brain Coral) polyp secretes a limestone skeleton cup around itself and lives inside for protection. When a polyp dies, its skeleton or "house" remains intact. The name "hard coral" comes from skeleton around the polyp. Hard corals are the reef builders Soft coral (such as gorgonians or sea fans) are more tree-like and flexible. The skeleton of soft corals is located within their bodies, giving them form but allowing them to move with the waves. When you look at a coral formation you are looking at a colony of corals or lots of polyp "houses" (in the case of hard corals). Many identical coral individuals next to each other, forming a texture, pattern or structure. The pattern's characteristics are determined by the coral's species. Besides the skeleton location, most hard corals have 6 tentacles where most soft corals have 8.
