Coral is a type of marine organism that belongs to the phylum Cnidaria. Corals are typically found in warm, shallow waters, and they form the structure of coral reefs. They are made up of small, soft-bodied creatures called polyps that secrete a hard, calcium carbonate exoskeleton. Corals can be found in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, and they can form a variety of reef structures, including fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and atolls. Notable coral reefs include the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea Australia, The New Caledonia Barrier Reef also in the Coral Sea, and the Mesoamerican Reef in the Caribbean Sea.
