This site from the Sea World Education Department provides an overview of corals and the reefs that they form. Many aspects of these invertebrates are covered, including descriptions, their scientific classification, their habitat and distribution, reef ecosystem, and conservation of coral reefs worldwide. There is also an exercise that features the growth of crystals that develop in a way similar to the manner that coral polyps create their calcium carbonate cups.
