Coral reefs are vibrant marine habitats and the largest living structures on Earth. They begin with coral larvae that develop into polyps, forming colonies over thousands of years. Sunlight is crucial for their growth due to a symbiotic relationship with algae, which perform photosynthesis. Coral reefs host diverse species, including crabs and humpback whales, and are threatened by storms, pollution, and climate change.
