Coral Reef

BY NATHAN

Coral reefs are warm, clear,

shallow ocean habitats full of life.

Coral reefs are made of tiny

animals called coral polyps. They

pile up on each other millions of

them to make a reef. Coral reefs

are found in the oceans around

the equator in the tropics

One of the animals that live in a coral reef

Is a clown fish . It is orange and has three

White stripes . It can be 3 to 5 inches long

The interaction I found is with the clown fish

and the anemone . The anemone is a fish-eating

animal that looks like undersea flowers with

hundreds of poisonous tentacles. Their tentacles

kill other fish , but not the clown fish. The clown fish

lives among the anemone.

Coral reefs are endangered because of too much fishing and pollution .

Fun fact: The Great Barrier reef can be seen from space because it is so big!
