Where are coral reefs located?

Most reef-building corals contain photosynthetic algae, called zooxanthellae, that live in their tissues. The corals and algae have a mutualistic relationship. The coral provides the algae with a protected environment and compounds they need for photosynthesis. In return, the algae produce oxygen and help the coral to remove wastes. Most importantly, zooxanthellae supply the coral with glucose, glycerol, and amino acids, which are the products of photosynthesis. The coral then uses that to make calcium carbonate or more shell.

The animals such as the barracuda and the Seal leave food particles behind when they kill something, as well as plankton floating around, this is the food that anemones eat and the reef provides them a place to settle down and survive.

Barracuda- Not only are they catching a meal,  but they are actually helping to keep the reef healthy too. When predators eat weak or sick animals. they make fish populations healthier. Their hunting at the top of the marine food web is crucial to ensuring a balance between herbivores, carnivores, and algae on the coral reef.
