Answer 1

❥ A᭄nswer✭࿐

Coral polyps are tiny, soft-bodied organisms related to sea anemones and jellyfish. At their base is a hard, protective limestone skeleton called a calicle, which forms the structure of coral reefs. Reefs begin when a polyp attaches itself to a rock on the sea floor, then divides, or buds, into thousands of clones.

Answer 2

Coral polyps are tiny marine animals which live in mud-free shallow and warm waters. They secrete calcium carbonate. The secretion of calcium carbonate results in the formation of coral reefs.
