Coral is a special animal that lives in the ocean. It looks like a rock or a plant, but it's alive! Coral has tiny soft bodies called polyps. These polyps make a hard shell around themselves for protection. Coral comes in many pretty colors like pink, orange, and blue. It grows very slowly and can live for a long time. Coral is important because it gives homes to many sea animals. Fish, crabs, and other creatures live in and around coral.
