Found in shallow waters, this ecosystem inhibits large amounts of oceanic life. They fill the ocean seas with their bright and beautiful reef colors. Many coral reef biomes can be found along the sides of forgotten volcanoes that were once active. Large amounts of these reefs can be found in Australia, where they live amongst the warm waters of The Great Barrier Reef. ]]> 2019-03-18 22:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kngu2100/71bb7gkx31nd/wish/342631331 kngu2100 https://padlet.com/kngu2100/71bb7gkx31nd/wish/342633360 A few include; blue-green-brown algae, seagrass, seeweed, sponges, plankton, and more

Also known as "the grasses of the sea" Phytoplankton is a type of algae and is one of the main sources of of plants herbivores tend to eat. Adaptations that Phytoplankton had to obtain in order to adapt well in the coral reef environment is being able to adapt to warmer water climates. Due to where most coral reefs are located, it is quite warm so Phytoplanktons are able to grow faster now, compared to when they're in cooler waters. Another adaptation that they have obtained is having little spines and a light density that ables them to stay float on the surface of the water. This prevents the Plankton from sinking down and get eaten by predators. Their density also helps them "drift" in the water which may be useful when predators are near by. Unlike many producers, Phytoplanktons can produce both asexually and sexually. Phytoplankton being a producer, it doesn't necessarily have a way to "escape" from their predators. They really just need need luck by their side in hopes of helping them float away from predators, like clams, so they don't get eaten.]]> 2019-03-18 22:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kngu2100/71bb7gkx31nd/wish/342633836 kngu2100 https://padlet.com/kngu2100/71bb7gkx31nd/wish/343622883 They can also be found in the tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea, because they favor warm temperatures. All different types of life can be found in these areas, which ranges from dolphins, octopi, lobsters, sharks to more mild sea life like small fishes, starfish, snails, turtles and crustaceans.]]> 2019-03-21 03:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kngu2100/71bb7gkx31nd/wish/343622883 kngu2100 https://padlet.com/kngu2100/71bb7gkx31nd/wish/343623377 This here is an example of one of the many organisms who live in this jaw-dropping biome.
