 They respond to touch, temperature, currents, and the cycles of the sun and the moon. And their tiny movements combined to give each colony a rhythm of its own.The polyps can't build the reef alone. For this, they need parterners that are even smaller. Within each polyp's tentacles 1 are millions of tiny brown dots. Each is a microscopic 2 plant, which transform sunlight into food and energy for the corals. It's a miraculous 3 parternship that allows the corals to turn the minerals in the water into limestone 4, building their stony 5 skeletons. In this way, each colony grows. If we were able to watch a reef over several years, we'd see a continuely growing marine 6 metropolis 7. Its intricate architecture provides homes for thousands of creatures.
