Good video. Lots of “coral reef” themed videos around but surprising few that give a well-rounded out explanation of what they actually are (like this one) for the less-aware.
makes me wonder if in fact humans have not built the largest infrastructure. Coral is literally cementing (limestone) and the reefs can get up to a thousand miles long. I don't know what that volume is total, but the only thing I can think of that we have built of that magnitude is the Great Wall, which must be dramatically thinner than the reefs.
nice video :) you really explained the whole animal-algae-skeleton concept in a way that is easy to remember!
Been searching vids for my son’s coral unit study..So much info put in an order..detailed explanation..thanks for the awesome work
So glad you enjoyed it! We have a new video about coral reproduction coming soon! Stay tuned

Going to show this to my marine science students! Thank you
Tremendous and well done!
Great description of corals.

People should see more of this so they know why they shouldn't disturb/destroy reefs.
