A window into the fascinating world of live coral.
What is coral?
They are marine animals that live in close relationship with microscopic algae, which enter the coral and provide them with food.
How many species of reef-building corals exist in the Sea of Cortez?
There are 14 species of reef-building corals (hermatypic) and 11 of them are found in Cabo Pulmo National Park.
At what depths can we find corals forming reef reefs?
It is common to find reefs between 0 to 12 m, because as depth increases there is less light, which is a source of energy for coral growth.
