Coral Polyps By Reagan




Coral reefs are made up of millions of tiny animals called polyps. Reefs are often called the rain forests of the sea.

Polyps look like rocks but are animals. Some of the most colorful things on earth are found in the coral reefs.

Coral polyps have soft bodies and no eyes. They have long tentacles on their back. Coral comes in lots of different colors. They’re both hard and soft bodies.

Corals eat small fish and shrimp at night. Polyps eat little fish that float by. They also eat algae and plankton.

Most corals live in shallow water. Corals are some of the most amazing things. They come out at night and sleep in the day. So don’t drop your anchor when you’re there. Don’t touch the coral reef because if you do you might be killing these small animals.
