Coral is the skeleton of marine creatures that live in colonies and support a varied ecosystem. According to National Geographic and other sources, although the corals cover less than 1% of the ocean, they support about 25% of marine life. Coral colonies mostly get their nutrients from the algae that live on their surface. As the algae get the nutrients from the sun, they pass that energy onto the coral reef. Corals come in a variety of colors, including white, pink, red, and even blue. Because of oceanic pollution, environmental changes, and overuse, the coral reefs are being depleted, and much of the corals are bleached, coral is often dyed to give it the highly sought after red color.
