About the Reef-building corals

Reef-building corals build limestone skeletons with the help of algae living in their bodies, forming coral reefs. They grow in colonies in warm, clear shallow seas and shelter many fish and shellfish. Colony sites in the seas of Mie and Kochi Prefectures are protected along with their habitat.
