Stony corals, also known as reef-building corals, are the backbone of coral reefs. They are so named due to their rock-hard skeletons that form the structure of the reef. These corals provide a home for a myriad of marine life, such as the small multi-colored fish seen in this stunning footage. In turn, the fish help the coral by removing algae and providing nutrients. It's a delicate balance and one that is easily disrupted by environmental factors such as rising sea temperatures and pollution.
