Transcription: Coral reefs form in warm, shallow waters. They're made by tiny animals called polyps, which have hard, cup-shaped shells. Thousands of polyps live side by side, and their shells join together to form a reef. When the polyps die, their hard shells remain. More polyps grow on top of them, and gradually the reef grows.
