Life in a Coral Reef

Coral reefs are environments for underwater life, but they're also alive themselves--some of the reefs of today have been growing for 50 million years. Living coral create a base for beautiful anemones, lively fish, and plenty of brightly colored sea urchins. This book examines these delicate ecosystems and the life making its home beneath the waves. Fact boxes impart further fun tidbits of information.
