Corals are the foundation of the coral reef ecosystem. These extraordinary animals acquire energy in two different ways: they can eat other organisms, and they can also capture energy from the sun. In this resource you will explore how surface area and volume affect the productivity of corals, and how energy flows through a coral reef ecosystem.
