Corals can reproduce asexually and/or sexually. In asexual reproduction, new polyps bud off from parent polyps to expand or begin new colonies. Asexual Budding occurs when the parent polyp reaches a certain size and divides.]]> 2017-01-09 17:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146054256 jazzystax https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146062064 One of the types of coral reefs, called fringing reefs, reach out towards the open water from the shoreline creating borders around a beach, encircling an island. Barrier reefs are similar, but have more room from their dry homeland, separated by a deep lagoon. An atoll, a more evolved version of a coral reef, comes to be when a fringing reef's mainland subsides underwater and the coral keeps growing upwards until it breaches the open air. Because it once surrounded an island, atolls are circular chain land forms. ]]> 2017-01-09 17:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146062064 lukenbill_chelsea https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146153436 2017-01-10 03:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146153436 lukenbill_chelsea https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146153447 2017-01-10 03:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146153447 lukenbill_chelsea https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146153463 2017-01-10 03:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146153463 lukenbill_chelsea https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146153471 2017-01-10 03:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146153471 lukenbill_chelsea https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146153485 Short reef much like a fringing reefs but are more sloped (extended out and down).

It can take about 10,000 years for a full coral reef to form from its larval stage. To give some perspective, the Great Barrier Reef is still a relatively young at 500,000 years, and this most modern form is only 8,000 years old, having developed after the last ice age.]]> 2017-01-10 17:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146317435 chance_seyl123 https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146326587 2017-01-10 17:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146326587 chance_seyl123 https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146328664 2017-01-10 17:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/chance_seyl123/coralproject/wish/146328664
