Coral reefs are one of the most \u0b85\u0bb4\u0b95\u0bc1<\/strong> places in the ocean. They are full of \u0baa\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0b95\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9<\/strong> colors like red, orange, yellow, and purple. Coral reefs look like underwater gardens, but they are actually made by tiny animals<\/strong> called coral polyps.<\/p>

Coral polyps are very small<\/strong> creatures that live together in big groups. They \u0b95\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b99\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb3\u0bcd<\/strong> hard walls around their soft bodies using a special material. Over many years, these walls grow and \u0bae\u0bc2\u0b9f\u0bbf<\/strong> large areas of the ocean floor. This is how a coral reef is made.<\/p>\n

Many kinds of fish<\/strong> and sea animals call coral reefs their \u0bb5\u0bc0\u0b9f\u0bc1<\/strong>. Clownfish, sea turtles, and sharks all live near reefs. The reef gives them \u0b89\u0ba3\u0bb5\u0bc1<\/strong> and a safe place to hide from danger. Without reefs, many animals would have nowhere to live.<\/p>\n

Coral reefs \u0ba4\u0bc7\u0bb5\u0bc8<\/strong> clean, warm water to stay \u0b86\u0bb0\u0bcb\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9<\/strong>. The water cannot be too hot or too cold. Coral also needs sunlight because tiny \u0b9a\u0bc6\u0b9f\u0bbf<\/strong>-like things live inside the coral and help it grow.<\/p>\n

Today, coral reefs are in trouble. Dirty water and \u0bb5\u0bc6\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd<\/strong> from the sun can hurt<\/strong> coral and make it turn white. We must keep the ocean \u0b9a\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbe\u0ba9<\/strong> to protect these amazing underwater cities.<\/p>\n
