The reefs provide a safe haven for almost millions of animals including fish, crabs, shrimp, clams, snails and many more rely on and adapt to the coral reef lifestyle. Each one of them plays a vital role in protecting the health of the reef. Found in warm, polar, and shallow waters, the corals have a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae. Living inside the polyp body provides carbohydrates for the coral where in turn the coral provides home and carbon dioxide for the algae. In addition, the algae remove waste and help corals to provide lively colors and are found in an array of shapes. The Australian barrier reef is the largest coral reef which is more than 1500 miles long. Different species of coral reefs are found in different ocean basis.
