Aquarium Coral : What is it?
| Aquarium corals provide aquarium tanks with color and definition, and the fish living inside them with homes. They are made up of polyps when found alive. The dead varieties, on the other hand, are made up of calcium carbonate polyp skeletons. They need a certain water temperature and a calcium carbonate water level to thrive. They come in different colors, shapes, and sizes. |
