Rainforests of the ocean

The coral community is a system that includes a collection of biological communities, representing one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. For this reason, coral reefs often are referred to as the "rainforests of the oceans." (EPA United States Environmental Protection Agency)

Coral reefs are extremely beautiful in nature and are homes to many aquatic life. They are diverse underwater ecosystems held together by calcium carbonate structures secreted by corals.
