Animals that dwells within the corals

Coral reefs are home to approximately one million species of amazing animals and plants. Since we couldn't possibly list all of them, here is a list of just a few animals that can be found living in and around the reef

• Sea Turtles

Sea turtles which too are depending on corals to survive due to the decrease of corals and hunting.

• Clown Fish

Clown Fish aka Nemo lives and dwells amoung corals. They live in a type of coral which stings other sea animals when it comes in contact with it which means it helps the Clown Fish hide or injure the predator without risking the Clown Fish's life.

• Dugongs

Large population of dugongs live within the Great Barrier Reef. Dugongs are highly-endangered species of mammals. Dugongs are very sensetive to the temperature of the water that they are living within and could only utilize freshwater at a certain temperature. Dugongs which are usually hunted for its meat and oil now mostly cohabitats or lives within the Great Barrier Reef.

Nowadays, more and more animals die due to loss of habitat due to our moves and actions we make. Give out a helping hand and stop the destruction of coral reefs now.
