Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Ocean Reefs and Shells

How are natural ocean pearls formed inside sea shells?
Pearls form inside mollusks like oysters when a tiny grain of sand or parasite enters the shell, prompting the animal to coat it in smooth layers of nacre.
What are coral reefs made of?
Coral reefs are built by colonies of tiny soft-bodied organisms called coral polyps, which secrete hard calcium carbonate skeletons that form underwater structures.
Why do starfish come in so many bright colors?
Bright colors like red and orange help starfish camouflage among colorful coral reefs or warn predators of unpleasant tastes and toxins.
