Coral

Hello! Did you know that there's plants that live under the ocean? Well, today I'm telling you about coral. Coral are underwater plants that are made out of tiny little animals called polyps. Polyps are about 1 or 2 millimeters. By the way, millimeters are tiny measurements that when you have a thousand of them it makes a meter. Occasionally, when you touch a coral it stings. It depends on the type of coral. Another thing about coral is that it can get diseases too. There's Black band disease, White band disease and a few other ones too, and coral is endangered because of lot of ships, and diseases so now you know about coral. See you later!

  2. You know, I have a necklace made out of coral, and I never suspected that is made of tiny animals! Your posting was a revelation. I will have second thoughts about using this necklace...
